APRICOT-CITRUS SCONES

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
2 ½ tsps baking powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tblsps grated orange zest
1 cup (diced) B&R Farms Dried Apricots
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 425F and butter a baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Blend the butter into the dry mix, using a pastry blender or a fork, until the mixture is crumbly. Add the orange zest, B&R Farms diced apricots and pecans and toss to combine. Add the butter milk and stir until the dough is rough looking.
Place the dough on a floured work surface. Knead gently about 10 times. Divide the dough in half and pat each piece into a circle about 7-8in in diameter and ½in thick. To glaze, brush the circles with the cream and sprinkle with the sugar. Cut each round into 8 wedges. Place the scones, barely touching, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until puffy and golden, about 15-18 minutes. Makes 15 scones
