Find it on Pinterest


COOK'S NOTE: I had an apricot white chocolate scone many years ago and it was amazing. So amazing that I have craved another one ever since. I came across this recipe recently and knew I had to make them. They tasted just like I remember, and now the only problem is I want to make them all the time! Even if you are not a big scone fan, these are different, they are not dry, they are not blah, they are moist and flavorful. They will go great with tea, coffee, breakfast or a snack. Let me know what you think. ENJOY!
