    Zaarbucks Famous Apricot Almond Scones, In July 2005, five women set out to Florence Italy to found Zaarbucks, a chain of kiosks serving coffees, teas, jaffles, fudge and baked goods Early on, the group’s business manger, PanNan, figured out that customers hooked on their fabulous baked goods would soon gain so much weight they would stop buying their daily muffins and scones Quickly Bergy and Derf began working on a new recipe for a deletable new scone that would be kind to the figure Having developed a basic recipe for light scones, they worked with Madeleine M to develop a range of flavor combinations that would rival none Apricot-Almond was by far my favorite so today, one time only, I’m sharing the recipe with you Don’t tell ’em where you got the recipe , Friends loved them, there were no leftovers Great scone , Very nice scone recipe, a bit putzy with the preparation, but worth the effort in the end Try dried cranberries in place of the ‘cots, too–every bit as delish! Or chocolate chips or nuts Mmm-mmm-good! A *Zaar Star* recipe!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Preheat Oven to 400f.

    2
    Done

    Prepare Baking Sheet by Spraying Lightly With Cooking Spray.

    3
    Done

    in a Large Bowl, Combine the the Flour, 1/4 Cup Sugar, Baking Powder, Baking Soda and Salt.

    4
    Done

    Cut in the Margarine Until the Mixture Resembles Course Meal.

    5
    Done

    Add the Apricots and Almonds Into the Flour Mixture and Mix Thoroughly.

    6
    Done

    in a Smaller Bowl, Mix Together the Yogurt, Sour Cream, and Extracts.

    7
    Done

    Cut and Fold the Yogurt/Sour Cream Mixture Into the Flour Until You Can Collect the Dough. Knead the Dough on a Lightly Floured Surface Just Until It Can Be Shaped. If the Dough Is Too Sticky Add a Little More Flour but Take Care not to Add Too Much as It Toughens Up the Scones. Similarly, Over Kneading the Dough Also Diminishes the Final Result.

    8
    Done

    Place the Dough Ball on the Baking Sheet and Spread Out Into an 8 or 10 Inch Disk.

    9
    Done

    Lightly Brush the Milk on the Top and Sprinkle With the Remaining 2 Teaspoons of Sugar.

    10
    Done

    Using a Very Long Knife (bread Knives Work Well) Cut Half Way Through the Dough. You Are Making Indentations, not Actually Portioning the Scone. Repeat Until the Scone Has Been Divided Into 8 Wedges. (you Can Also Cut Into 12 Pieces If You Want Smaller Pieces).

    11
    Done

    Bake the Scones 20 - 22 Minutes.

    12
    Done

    Best Served Warm but Cold Is Good Too.

    13
    Done

    Enjoy!
