Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Butter a baking sheet.
  3. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  4. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, blend the butter into the dry ingredients, until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  5. Add the orange zest, apricots and pecans and toss to combine.
  6. Stir in the buttermilk until the dough is rough and shaggy.
  7. Gather the dough together and place on a liberally floured work surface.
  8. Gently knead about 10 times.

  11. Cut each round into eight pie-shaped wedges.
