  • Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon 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
  • Additional sugar, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. 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.
  • 2
    Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Pat or roll into 8-inch round on ungreased 12-inch pizza pan or cookie sheet. Cut into 8 wedges; do not separate. Sprinkle with additional sugar.
  • 3
    Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully separate wedges; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Serve warm if desired.

  • Go ahead and substitute dried cranberries, cherries or raisins for the apricots.
