Ingredients
- 2 Cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/3 Cup butter cold
- 2/3 Cup milk
- 1 Egg lightly whisked for brushing
- 6 Fresh apricots pitted and roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a baking tray.
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk lightly to combine. Cut in cold butter and use the tips of your fingers to incorporate it until it resembles a bread crumb mixture. Add milk all at once and stir until it comes together as a dough. Don't over mix. Gently fold in the apricots.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and lightly press it out with your hands. With a small 2 inch circle cutter, cut out 8 scones. With a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. Place on your baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes. Serve immediately.

Notes
It is important that the butter is cold for scones. If you use room temperature butter in this recipe, they will not have the texture that a scone should have it will be more muffin like.
