~ Apricot, White Chocolate ~
and Walnut Scones
2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
6 oz white chocolate, cut into 1/2" chunks
1 cup coarsely broken walnuts, toasted
1 cup finely chopped dried apricots
Preheat the oven to 375F.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour,
sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter
into 1/2 inch cubes and distribute them over
the flour mixture. Cut in the butter until the
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl,
stir together the cream, egg and vanilla. Add the
cream mixture to the flour mixture and knead until
combined. Knead in the white chocolate, walnuts
and apricots. With lightly floured hands, pat
the dough out into a 9 inch circle in the center
of an ungreased baking sheet. With a serrated
knife, cut the circle into 8 wedges. Bake for
15 - 20 minutes or until the top is lightly
browned. Remove the baking sheet to a wire
rack to cool for 5 minutes. Transfer scones
to the wire rack to cool. Re-cut into wedges
if necessary. Serve warm or cool completely
and store in an airtight container.
