My first attempt at scones and it was a good one. It took about a half hour for me to make these, but I'm kinda slow and kept rereading the directions to get it right. I also cooked them for about 25 minutes. These were a big hit, especially with me. Just a hint of sweetness, and the sugar sprinkled on at the end is a must. I would increase the amount of dried apricots to maybe a whole cup or I was thinking this would be good made with Craisins (sweetened dried cranberries). This is a keeper. Thanks!

These are very good. I just had one warm out of the oven. The next time I may use semi-sweet chocolate instead of white since it goes very well with apricots. Thanks for the recipe.

These were delicious. I found the dough a bit difficult to work with...very crumbly. I substituted buttermilk for the half-and-half but next time I'll use the half-and-half and add a bit more or reduce the flour measure slightly to see if the dough will stick together. There was no way I could knead the dough without overhandling it.

I made these as a gift for a friend and he definitely loved them! I substituted thawed frozen rasberries, drained, instead of the apricots (because that's what he wanted), and they turned out beautifully. I doubled the recipe (makes 4 rounds), and added 2 tsp of rasberry liquor to the recipe. I had to bake them for about 30 minutes. I took the juice from the frozen rasberries and about a 1/4 cup of rasberry liquor and reduced it to a little less than half, and then drizzled it over the scones to give them a burst of flavor, and then for the final touch I sprinkled confectioner's sugar over the top. This is definitely a winner, and will be made many more times! Thanks for an awesome recipe!!!

Delicious..Absolutely!! Not too sweet, yet enough to satisfy! Next time I think I will divide into 3 or 4 portions in order to make the scones smaller, but these are soo good!! The sugar sprinkled on just before baking is a must!! So good I ate 3 myself, and it isn't even tomorrow yet!! Thanks so much!

Loved these. I didn't have apricots so I substituted dried cranberries...every bit as good.
I used chopped white chocoate squares in place of the chocolate chips but other than that I didn't change a thing in the recipe except I did knead them a bit after turning the dough out of the bowl.
I also made them smaller so got about 3 dozen out of this recipe as they were going on a tray with other goodies.

Can I give this 6 stars?!?! WONDERFUL! I've never made scones, but today I "needed" something white chocolate & apricot. I used Skim Plus milk (skim milk that has the taste & consistency of whole), upped the apricots to 1c & skipped the sugar topping. I kneaded more than 10 times to get all the flour absorbed & the texture is amazing! Soft & moist, but firm too. YUM! I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that these freeze well b/c it would be very bad if I ate this whole batch all by myself! ~wink~ (Two days later - they freeze very well. Make sure to allow them to return to room temp or defrost slowly in the toaster.)
