These scones combine the sweet, tangy flavors of apricot and orange for a delightful, fruity treat.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Preheat the Oven

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Mix Dry Ingredients

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream, orange zest, and beaten egg. Stir to mix well.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold in the chopped apricots until just combined. Do not overmix.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a round cutter to cut out scones.

Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your apricot-orange scones warm!
