Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gently fold in the fresh apricots and blueberries.

  6. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop 6 equal-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
