This Simple Scone Recipe is FABULOUS! Crowd Approved.

I love being able to add in dried fruits to baked goods. Some of our very favorite flavors are diced apricots, pineapple, and dried cranberries. In fact, the next time I make this I might even put in a small scoop of coconut.

Yummo!

Easy 5 Ingredients Fruit Scones

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of self-raising flour
• ½ cup of powdered sugar
• 1 cup of mixed dried fruit
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1 cup of lemonade

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 °F.
2. Place flour, sugar, and fruit in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add cream and lemonade and mix to combine.
4. Turn the mixture out onto a well-floured board and knead with extra flour until smooth (mixture is very sticky initially).
5. Use your hands to flatten the scone dough out to about 1 inch thick and then cut into rounds using a floured cutter, or the rim of a drinking glass.
6. Place scones onto a lined baking tray so that they are just touching and then bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
7. Scones are cooked when they are golden brown and can be easily pulled apart where they are joined.
