Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest

Scones

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup cold Land O Lakes® Butter, cut into 8 pieces

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup finely chopped dried apricots

3/4 cup Land O Lakes® Half & Half

1 large Land O Lakes® Egg

1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest

Almond Butter

1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Heat oven to 375°F.

  2. STEP 2

    Combine all topping ingredients in bowl; mix well. Set aside.

  3. STEP 3

    Combine flour, baking powder and salt in another bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar and apricots.

  4. STEP 4

    Stir together half & half, egg and 1 tablespoon orange zest in bowl until smooth. Stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times until smooth, adding small amount of flour, if necessary.

  5. STEP 5

    Divide dough in half. Pat each half into 7-inch circle. Place 2 inches apart onto large ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle topping evenly over dough. Score each half into 8 wedges; do not separate. Bake 25-30 minutes or until scones are lightly browned. Cool 15-20 minutes on baking sheet.

  6. STEP 6

    Combine all almond butter ingredients in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed.

  7. STEP 7

    Separate scones while warm. Serve with almond butter.

  8. STEP 8

    Store leftover scones in container with tight-fitting lid at room temperature. Store remaining almond butter covered in refrigerator.
