1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup butter or margarine 1/3 cup dried apricots, finely chopped 1/3 cup white baking chips 1 egg 1/3 cup half-and-half, approximately |

Heat oven to 400º. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like 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. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Pat or roll into 8-inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate. Sprinkle with sugar if desired. Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully separate wedges; remove from cookie sheets to wire rack. Serve warm, if desired. |
