3 1/4 cup Flour, all purpose

1/3 cup Sugar

2 1/2 tsp Baking powder

1/2 tsp Baking soda

1/2 tsp Salt

3/4 cup Dried apricots, diced (4oz)

1/3 cup Crystallized ginger, diced - 2 oz

1 tsp Lemon peel, grated

1 cup Buttermilk

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 12x15 inch lightly

greased baking sheet, pat dough into an oval about 7x12 inches. With

a floured knife, cut diagonal lines through dough, forming 8 or 9

triangles. Bake in a 400 degree oven until golden brown,

about 25 minutes. Break along scores to serve.
