Served with tea or coffee makes the whole thing a lot better.
Honey goes a long way in this recipe if you drizzle a bit on the top.
Scones aren't usually my favorite dessert but this came out good.
Aren't scones a british thing not american?
My kids really liked them with some powedered sugar coated on the top too.
Pretty good scones just wish that it was done with some cherry or strawberries instead.
There's a lot going on in this recipe so a lot to buy..wish you guys would atleast add the brand names then.
Puuurfect little dessert made it for my nieces picnic party and it was a huge hit with the family and friends.
Vegetarian desserts are still my all time favorites ty for sharing this!!
Flavorful simple and delicious couldn't have asked for a better dessert thank you a lot.
I didn't use my thumb because I found that to be kinda gross so instead used the back of a teaspoon to make the holes worked like a charm (-;
Replaced the normal sugar with brown.
Applesauce works for this too and gives it a hint of cinnamon.
Went with some blueberry jam instead of apricot lot more yummy.
Loved these apricot scones so tasty and simple to make!
Heavenly apricot dessert i'll be making these a lot more often for sure.
White chocolate is nice and everything but if you go with milk it taste sooo much better.
Let mine cool down for an hour and then put very little icecream on the top.
Glazed with the homemade powdersugar and lemon was delicious.
You can never make too many of these and they last a long time :)
I love it! Thanks for sharing!
