Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons chilled stick margarine or butter

1/3 cup chopped dried apricots

1/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as

Craisins)

3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk

2 teaspoons grated orange rind

1 large egg

1 large egg white

Cooking spray

1 tablespoon sugar

 

Preheat oven to 400º.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour,

1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; cut in margarine with a

pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in apricots

and cranberries. Combine buttermilk, orange rind, egg, and egg white; add to

flour mixture, stirring just until moist.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 times with

floured hands. Roll dough into a 12 × 6-inch rectangle. Cut dough into 8

(3-inch) squares using a dull knife or a dough scraper. Cut each square into 2

triangles; place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with 1

tablespoon sugar; bake at 400º for 12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.

NOTES : Dried cranberries and apricots, as well as orange rind, give these

scones a sweet, tart flavor. But you can mix and match any dried fruits to

create your own fruit scone.
