How to Make Triple Fruit Scones

Step-by-Step

Add butter, apricots and craisins; mix until butter is pea-sized. Use fingers to work butter into dry mixture.
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.
Using your hands knead several times (6-8) in bowl, then place dough on lightly floured board.
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.
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.
