An apricot scones recipe made with dried apricots, sour cream, milk, sugar, and butter. Try this flavorful scone recipe with your favorite jam for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon tea. Sour cream in the recipe makes these scones light, moist, and delicious.
These scones are pretty good on their own, but if you want to, try apricot jam or preserves on top along with some Devonshire cream for a special breakfast treat.
If you want to try something besides muffins or toast for breakfast, scones are a fun alternative. They are much less sweet than a muffin, and a bit more substantial than a slice of toast. They can be served with other brunch foods or just on their own with a cup of tea or coffee.
