Apricot Scones


My granddaughter, Kaitlyn was over a few weekends ago.  She loves to cook with Grandma.  She wanted to make scones, and I had some apricot jam, so she came up with these!  Yum Yum!

Apricot Scones

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
8 Tbsp. cold "real" butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg
3 Tbsp. apricot preserves (more or less)

Mix dry ingredients.  Cut cold butter into the dry ingredients.  Add egg and sour cream and mix well.  Do not over mix.  Roll out on a board and cut into squares.  Cover top of the square with about 1/4 of the apricot preserves.  Fold the corners over together to form the scone.  

Bake until golden brown in a 350 degree oven.  Approximately 15 to 18 minutes.  Lightly brush the tops with more melted butter.

Enjoy!
