How To Make triple fruit scones

Step 1

Add butter, apricots and craisins; mix until butter is pea-sized. Use fingers to work butter into dry mixture.

Step 2

In separate bowl, combine egg and egg white, buttermilk and orange rind. Add this liquid to dry ingredients and mix it just until it comes together.
Step 3

Using your hands knead several times (6-8) in bowl, then place dough on lightly floured board.
Step 4

Form dough into a 12 x 6 inch rectangle. Cut into 12 triangular pieces. At this point you may sprinkle coarse sugar granules on top.
Step 5

Bake on cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 13-16 minutes or until lightly browned. You may use a powdered sugar glaze drizzled over the warm tops.
