Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
1/3 cup white baking chips
1 egg
1/3 cup half-and-half, approximately

Cooking Instructions

Heat oven to 400ºF.

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like 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.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Pat or roll into 8-inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate. Sprinkle with sugar if desired.

Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully separate wedges; remove from cookie sheets to wire rack. Serve warm, if desired.
