Number Of Ingredients 12

3 c all purpose flour
1/3 c sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
6 Tbsp butter, cut into small chunks, chilled
1/3 c chopped dried apricots
1/3 c craisins (chop to size of apricots if too large)
1 egg
1 egg white
3/4 c buttermilk
2 tsp orange rind-zest

Steps:

  • 1. Add butter, apricots and craisins; mix until butter is pea-sized. Use fingers to work butter into dry mixture.
