Almond Apricot Scones

• Apricot Almond Scones, Makes 24ish
• Preheat oven 350°
• 4 cups Bobs Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten free flour
• 1 cup sugar (plus sugar on top before baking) 
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon Almond extract
• 1 cup cold butter (I cube it small)
• 1 cup Whole Milk Greek yogurt

• (I hand mix with wood spoon )
• Mix together in big bowl flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add yogurt and almond extract -mix.  Add apricots and almonds.
• Then I flatten it all in bowl and cut it down the center.
• Scoop out one 1/2 of bowl and on a greased baking sheet, or silicone baking mat is what I use, pat dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick and 8ish inch in diameter. Using a knife, cut wedges in the dough, don't cut all the way through, 12 if possible. (I usually cut in 1/2 and then cut in 1/2 again the other way. Then I divide each 1/4 into 3 wedges).  
• Sprinkle with sugar. 
• Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. 
• Repeat baking for next 1/2 of remaining dough
• Yield: 10-12 scones per dough patty.
