Jen'S Easy Apricot, Cream & Ginger Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups self raising flour
1 pinch salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 - 1 teaspoon ground ginger (use more if you like)
1/2 cup dried apricot (roughly chopped)
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 cup ginger ale, plus
2 tablespoons ginger ale

Preparation

Pre heat oven to 400'F/200'C.
In a bowl mix together all the dry ingredients and stir through the apricot pieces.
Add in the cream and gingerale and mix lightly with a knife until mixture holds together in a ball.
Tip out onto a floured board and gently pat out into a rectangle and cut into 9 scones or cut out scones with a 6cm diam cutter.
Place close together on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in hot oven for 15 minutes.
Tip out onto a clean teatowel and wrap up to keep warm.
These are nice just buttered but even better spread with some apricot jam and topped with a dollop of whipped cream for a special treat.
