I combined your sister's version and added candied ginger along with the apricots. They turned out to be quite good. I love the nutty aspect imparted from the whole wheat flour and they are healthy enough to enjoy routinely for breakfast. Well done!

I think they were the best scones I've ever made. Thanks, Molly!

Last night my husband and I returned from a weekend in San Francisco (ran the Bay to Breakers run). We walked into the house and the kids (girl 16, boy 17) had made us Sunday evening dinner: Brandon's red cabbage salad, roasted chicken, corn/raspberry/argula salad, baguette, wine, candles, and a clean kitchen!!! Love these kids. Thanks for your inspiration.

I've recently finished reading through Orangette's archives, and I also just made these scones this morning, to go along with some strawberry jam (also from your recipe) as a belated Mother's Day present. I linked to both recipes from my own blog, but then I felt a little creepy writing about you without even introducing myself. So, hello, and thanks for all the kitchen inspiration! I look forward to reading more.

Oh, and the scones were great, tender and not too sweet.

I've just tried it and it is every bit as good as you promised. However, in the absence of apricots I used dried cranberry (tastes good and is healthy!), and used a mix of whole wheat flour and white pastry flour (I didn't have whole wheat pastry flour). It is light, tasty, moist… just the perfect scone.
Bon appétit to all!
