APRICOT SCONES
Popular served with tea in Victorian days, scones are making a big comeback. Apricots and nuts are stirred into the batter in this recipe I baked for the theme shower. Spread with Devonshire cream, they delighted the bride-to-be and guests. -Robin Fuhrman, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

[email protected]These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think next time I'll use less sugar or add some tart fruit like cranberries or raspberries.
