Apricot Scones with Orange Glaze

July 11, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

Howdy,

This past Sunday it was nice and cool in the morning and I couldn’t wait to do some baking.  The thing is, what do I make?  I have really been trying to do a refrigerator clean-up with all of the produce I have, and as I was reaching to the way back of the refrigerator I found a container of cute little apricots.  I was going to make muffins, but Saturday I made peach muffins and they were a flop.  I think I added the wrong amount of baking powder and they fell.  No poof!  So instead of muffins, I thought why not make some yummy scones?  I haven’t made them in a while and they are fast and easy to make too!

Apricot Scones with Orange Glaze

The scones came out beautifully!  But they are not your typical scone!  These do not fall apart when you eat them, so they aren’t really crumbly, plus they aren’t super sweet either, which is fine with me.  For some reason I don’t like really sweet scones.  But by all means add some more sugar if you like them sweet.  To sweetened up the scones a bit, I did add some turbinado sugar and an orange glaze to go over the top.  The orange with apricot is such a nice combination.  Glad I thought of that!

I made my scones mini too!  They are a tad smaller than the mini scones you see at Starbucks and a heck of a lot healthier for you too!  My scones are made with white whole wheat flour and I used Earth Balance margarine for those who may be vegan.  But you could also use butter or margarine of your choice.  To make them mini,  I cut them into 32 small triangles.  That way I could have them for the rest of the week, plus they are easier for snacking on and sharing with friends and family.  Plus my Husband could take a few in his lunches this week.

Here are my some of my steps so, you can make them too.  Sometimes it’s hard to give a description and think a picture is so much easier too.  Just forgive some of them!  I had sticky fingers and poor lighting.

Once I made my dough, I formed it into a rectangle about 1/4″ thick.

Then I cut them into four strips vertically and horizontally, so they form mini squares.  I cut my squares into triangles.

Then I carefully placed them on my baking sheet.  Added some coconut milk and a sprinkle of turbinado sugar and baked in the oven for about 10 minutes.

Once they came out of the oven, they puffed up all nice.

Then I let them cool and added some powdered sugar with freshly squeezed orange juice.  I brushed the glaze on with a pastry brush.

Then I took a picture of an apricot fanny for you.

If you’re not into mini scones, you could always shape them into a large circle and cut them into wedges.  I personally like things on the mini side.

The scones turned out light, fluffy, with little bites of apricot and have a nice sweet glaze over the top.  They would be perfect for a brunch or a Sunday breakfast or simply having one at your snack time.  The calories won’t hurt you either, they are only 51 calories each.

A healthy, light, fluffy egg-less scone, filled with fresh apricots and topped with a sweet orange glaze.
Serves: 32 Mini Scones
Ingredients
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour or all purpose flour
  • 2½ tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 5 tbsp. earth balance margarine or butter,cut into small pieces
  • ¾ cup apricots, fresh, diced small
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ cup + 2 tbsp. coconut milk, unsweetened (from carton), divided
  • ½ tbsp. turbinado sugar (sugar in the raw)
  • 2 tbsp. powdered sugar
  • 11/2 tsp. orange juice
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside
  3. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or a fork until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in apricots. Add ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon coconut milk, and vanilla extract; stirring just until moist.
  4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 15 times or until smooth.
  5. Form dough into an 8 x 8 square. If dough is sticky, sprinkle with a pinch more flour. Cut 4 even rows diagonally and vertically into the dough. Then cut the squares into triangles. I used a pizza cutter for easy cutting.
  6. Carefully Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet.
  7. With a pastry brush, brush 1 tablespoon of coconut milk over scones and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  8. Bake in oven for approximately for 9-11 minutes or until golden. Let cool on baking sheet for two minutes and then transfer scones to a wire rack;
  9. In a small bowl add powdered sugar and orange juice; mix until smooth. With a pastry brush, brush the scones with mixture. Let harden for a few minutes and serve.

Oh how I miss baking!  Love the summer, but that is the only thing I miss about winter is baking, but honestly I don’t miss it that much!  🙂

Well my Husband actually made dinner tonight and it’s done, so I must go and enjoy his bbq chicken with his homemade marinade.

Hope you enjoy your day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach 
🦇
Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
