APRICOT SCONES
Popular served with tea in Victorian days, scones are making a big comeback. Apricots and nuts are stirred into the batter in this recipe I baked for the theme shower. Spread with Devonshire cream, they delighted the bride-to-be and guests. -Robin Fuhrman, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Mix the flour, baking powder and a good pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the chopped walnuts and the milk, mix together using a cutlery knife until clumping together, then tip onto your work surface and squash together to form a ball - try not to work the dough too much or your scones will be heavy. Flatten the dough a little with your hand to make a disc roughly 3cm thick, then use a sharp knife to cut into 6 triangles.
- Transfer to a baking sheet, brush with a little beaten egg, then place a walnut half on each scone. Bake for 15 mins until golden and puffed, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve with soft goat's cheese and fig jam, if you like.

APRICOT, CHOCOLATE, AND WALNUT SCONES
With Valentine's Day coming up I just had to share this scrumptious-looking recipe for heart-shaped scones. I plan on trying it very soon using margarine and soy milk in place of the heavy cream! I got this from Care2.com's Eat Well Naturally newsletter. They also say you can make the dough hearts ahead of time and freeze them, then bake the frozen dough hearts 20 to 25 minutes.
