Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp white sugar
pinch table salt
3 tbsp butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract -- optional
1 egg
1/3 cup coconut -- unsweetened
3/4 cup chopped dried apricots
Tender little scones with great coconut flavour and sweet chunks of
dried apricot baked right in. A dainty and delicious addition to afternoon tea.
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 15 mins
Total: 25 mins
Preheat oven to 400F.
In a food processor add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Pulse to mix together well. (You can just mix the ingredients in a
bowl if you prefer the manual method)
Pulse in the butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. (or
just use your fingertips to rub the butter through the dry
ingredients until the same texture is achieved.) Transfer to a large
bowl and stir in the dried coconut and chopped apricots.
Whisk together the milk, egg and vanilla. Reserve a few teaspoons of
the liquid to brush on top of the scones. This helps them brown nicely).
Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and stir in quickly with a
wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. It should be a little sticky.
Don't over work the dough or your scones will get tough and not rise well.
Turn the dough out onto a well floured board or counter top.
Lightly sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and just using your
hands, form the dough into a round about 3/4" thick.
Using a 1 1/2" biscuit cutter, cut out your scones and place them
about 2" apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Re-roll the scraps and cut out the rest of the scones. Brush the tops
of all the scones with the reserved milk and egg liquid.
Pop the scones into the hot oven for about 12 to 15 minutes or until
the tops of the scones are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
Review: I made those today and they are absolutely delicious. I used
1 and 1/2 cups flour and 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut just because I
love anything coconut. They are perfectâ?¦and so quick and easy to
make. Thanks for sharing
