Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup dried apricots (chopped)
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds (toasted)
• 0.66 cup heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

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, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the chopped dried apricots and toasted sliced almonds until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the heavy cream and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cream mixture. Gently mix until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 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, leaving some space between them.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
