• 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar

• ¹⁄₂ cup Dried apricots (chopped)
• ¹⁄₄ cup Almonds (sliced)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

7. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.
