Super Simple Dried Fruit Scones for a Sweet Snack — finished dish
Summary

This snack is made by rubbing room-temperature butter into flour until crumbly, mixing in dried fruit, and baking it in the oven. Chilling the dough in the refrigerator helps develop flaky layers, and brushing the top with egg wash gives it a golden-brown finish. The dried fruit adds moisture and sweetness, making them delicious to enjoy on their own or served with jam.
