Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cup Dried apricots (chopped)
• 0.5 cup White chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
• 1 None Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

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 flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gently fold in the chopped dried apricots and white chocolate chips.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a round disk about 1 inch thick and 7 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.

Step 9

Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream to promote a golden crust.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature with tea, coffee, or your favorite jam.
