Recipe - Dried Fruit Cream Scones

2 cup Allpurpose flour
1 tablespoon Baking powder
One half teaspoon Salt
One fourth cup Sugar
Three fourths cup Dried apricots,; chopped
1 One fourth cup Heavy cream

GLAZE
3 tablespoon Butter,; melted
2 tablespoon Sugar

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Use an ungreased baking sheet.

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl, stirring with
a fork to mix well. Add the dried apricots. Still using a fork, stir in the
cream and mix until the dough holds together in a rough mass (the dough
will be quite sticky).

Lightly flour a board and transfer the dough to it. Knead the dough 8 or 9
times. Pat into 2 circles about 6 inches round. For the glaze, spread the
butter over the top and side of the circle of dough and sprinkle the sugar
on top. Cut each circle into 8 wedges and place each piece on the baking
sheet, allowing about an inch between pieces.

Bake for about 11 minutes, or until golden brown.

Yield: 12 scones
