Apricot and Ginger Scones
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Chop the dried apricots and crystallized ginger into small pieces. Add them to the flour mixture and toss to combine.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
-
Use a round biscuit cutter or glass to cut out scones from the dough. Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and enough water to make a thick glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones.
-
Serve the apricot and ginger scones warm or at room temperature.
