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
Preparation
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.
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.
Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully separate wedges; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Serve warm if desired.
