1/2 teaspoon baking soda |

6 tablespoons cold butter |
1/3 cup chopped dried apricots |
1/3 cup dried cranberries |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
1 egg |
1 egg white |
2 teaspoons grated orange peel |
additional sugar |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in apricot and cranberries. In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, egg white and orange peel; stir into crumb mixture just until blended.
