How To Make triple fruit scones

  • 1
    Add butter, apricots and craisins; mix until butter is pea-sized. Use fingers to work butter into dry mixture.
  • 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.
  • 3
    Using your hands knead several times (6-8) in bowl, then place dough on lightly floured board.
  • 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.
  • 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.
