How To make Buttermilk Apricot Scones
DRY INGREDIENTS:
2 c Flour
1/4 c Sugar
1/2 tb Baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Salt
MOIST INGREDIENTS:
1/4 c Margarine or butter, chilled
-and cut into small pieces 1/3 c Chopped dried apricots
1/4 c Buttermilk or yogurt
1/4 c Apricot nectar
1 Egg, lightly beaten
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl; cut in margarine with a pastry blender (or two forks) until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the apricots and toss well, making sure each piece is well coated in flour and not clumped up with other apricot pieces. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Combine buttermilk, apricot nectar, and egg; add to the well and mix with dry ingredients, until dry ingredients are moistened (dough will be sticky). Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, flour you hands, and kneaded 4-5 times or knead it while still in the bowl (not traditional, but it seems to work for me). Pat dough into a 9" circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut dough into 8 wedges. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm. Each scone will be around 230 calories (30% from fat) more or less, depending on the fat content of the buttermilk. I find yogurt works as well as buttermilk in the recipe. You could also brush the top of the scones with a little beaten egg white and sprinkle with sugar before backing, for a little extra sweetness.

BETH'S SCONE RECIPES
Each Recipe Makes 8 scones
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp + 1 tsp baking powder
10 tbsp unsalted butter, very cold and diced into small cubes
½ cup of heavy cream
1 tbsp vanilla
2 eggs
FOR RAISIN SCONES:
Add ¼ cup black raisins and ¼ cup golden raisins
Egg Wash
1 whole egg
SERVE WITH: Twinings Apple Spiced Chai Tea
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 400F.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
Then work the butter cubes into the flour with your hands until a coarse meal develops. Then toss in the raisins and mix gently with your hands to combine.
In a separate small bowl add the heavy cream, eggs and vanilla and whisk with a fork until combined.
Create a small well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the cream mixture into the well, and stir with a fork until combined, and then change to a large wooden spoon.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Form into a disk, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 mins, or pop in the freezer for 10 mins.
Once chilled, roll the dough out to ½ “ thickness. Cut out scones with a 2” round biscuit cutter and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Then whisk 1 whole egg in a small bowl, then with a pastry brush lightly glaze the tops of the scones with the egg wash.
TIP: To assure your scones retain their shape after they are baked pop your tray into your fridge for 15 mins before baking. This will re-chill the dough and allow them to bake up in a more uniform fashion.
Bake for 10-12 mins until risen and golden brown. Serve with butter and jam alongside your favorite tea!
FOR CRANBERRY ORANGE SCONES:
Replace raisins with ½ cup of Cranberries
Add 2 tbsp orange zest with the cranberries
Glaze with heavy cream and turbinado sugar
SERVE WITH: Twinings Orange & Cinnamon Spice Tea
To form triangle scones:
Roll dough into a square, ½” thick. Cut in half vertically, then horizontally. Then cut each little square diagonally to create smaller triangles.
Transfer to a parchment lined cookie sheet. Glaze with heavy cream and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
CHOCOLATE CHUNK:
Add 3 oz of chopped bittersweet chocolate at the coarse meal stage. Mix to combine and proceed as directed for basic scone recipe.
SERVE WITH: Twinings Pure Peppermint Tea
