10 g salt

150 g unsalted butter

100 g white choc chip

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C normal bake. Combine flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and use your hands to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Place white choc chip, toasted walnut, dried apricots, milk in a bowl and combine, then add to the flour mix and mix to dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 3 cm thickness. Cut out the scones with a 5 cm scone cutter and place on a lightly floured tray with space in between. Bake for approx 12 min. and sift icing sugar on top.

Note: Try using other dried fruits such as sultanas and currants.
