Time 55m

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup chopped dried apricots (about 4 ounces)
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage
1 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Work in butter with fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in dried apricots and sage. Add cream; gather mixture with your hands until it starts to hold together.
  • Turn out mixture onto a lightly floured work surface. Quickly bring dough together; pat into an 8-inch circle that is 1 inch thick. Smooth top with a rolling pin. Cut into 8 wedges with a bench scraper.
  • Arrange wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush tops with cream; sprinkle generously with sanding sugar. Bake until cooked through and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Immediately transfer to a wire rack; let cool at least 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scones came out dense and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The scones were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I was skeptical about the sage in these scones, but I'm so glad I tried them! The sage added a subtle savory note that complemented the sweetness of the apricots beautifully.
