Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour King Arthur preferred
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 ¼ cup HEAVY cream plus more for brushing
  • About ½ cup dried fruit such as dried blueberries, apricots (cut into small pieces), or dried cranberries, or other fruits of your choice
  • About ¼ cup toasted nuts I like sliced almonds, but pecans or walnuts work too or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking pan.
  • Sift together, in a medium bowl, the flour, baking powder, and salt, stir in the sugar. Add the fruits and nuts. Stir with a fork to combine. 
  • Add the cream; stir just until a dough forms.
  • Gather the dough into a ball; turn out onto a lightly floured counter or work surface, and fold and kneed about 6 or 7 times…then pat out into about a 10 inch round about ½ inch thick. Cut with a knife or pastry cutter into 8 wedges. Place them on the prepared sheet; brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with some sugar; place in the oven (rack in the middle of the oven), and bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until nice and browned.
