Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup milk
• 0.5 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup optional glaze: powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons optional glaze: milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8x8-inch square baking pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold the chopped dried apricots into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and use the back of a spoon to spread it out evenly (the dough will be sticky).

Step 7

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the biscuit bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to continue cooling.

Step 9

If you'd like, make an optional glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the biscuit bread once it has cooled slightly.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
