Method

• Preheat oven 190C In a large bowl combine the flour and butter
• Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs
• Add the sugar, zest, walnut pieces and apricots and mix to combine
• Using a bread and butter knife to mix add 1 cup of milk and quickly mix
• If the dough is looking too dry then add another ¼ cup or so and mix again
• Now use your hands to bring the dough together and tip the mixture out onto a lightly floured bench
• Gently bring the dough together and knead once or twice only! Roll or pat the dough out so it roughly 2 ½ cm thick
• Cut rounds out with cutter and place onto baking tray
• Bake in preheated oven for 10-14 minutes or until lightly golden
• Remove from oven and cool on rack with a clean tea-towel over them to keep the crust soft
• Serve with plenty of butter
