Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold
• 0.75 cup Dried apricots, chopped
• 0.75 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the flour mixture, using a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped dried apricots until they are well distributed in the flour mixture.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix together until smooth.

Step 6

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it holds together in a ball.

Step 8

Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a knife to cut the circle into 8 equal scones.

Step 9

Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little milk to help them brown.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm.

Step 11

Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
