2 ½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

¾ cup dried apricots, diced

1/3 cup crystallized ginger, diced

1 tsp lemon peel, grated

1 cup buttermilk

1

In a food processor or large bowl, whirl or mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt. Add butter; whirl or rub with fingers until coarse crumbs form. If using a food processor, add apricots, ginger, and peel; pulse until just blended. Otherwise, stir them into flour mixture. Add buttermilk and whirl or stir just until evenly moistened.

Scrape dough onto a floured board and knead about 6 turns or until dough holds together. On a lightly greased baking sheet, pat dough into a circle 25cm round. With a floured knife, cut score lines through dough, forming 8 wedges.
