White Chocolate Apricot Scones
1 3/4 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup finely chopped dried apricots
1/3 cup white vanilla baking chips
1 egg
About 1/3 cup half and half

Heat oven to 425. In large bowl, mix flour, 1/4 cup sugar, the baking
powder and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives
until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in apricots and baking chips.
Stir in egg and just enough half and half so dough leaves side of bowl and
forms a ball. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times.
Pat or roll into 8" round on ungreased 12" pizza pan or cookie sheet. Cut
into 8 wedges. Do not separate. Sprinkle with additional sugar. Bake 16 to 18
minutes or until golden brown. Carefully separate wedges; remove from
