Method (preview)

1. 1

   Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl; cut in margarine with a pastry blender (or two forks) until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

2. 2

   Add the apricots and toss well, making sure each piece is well coated in flour and not clumped up with other apricot pieces.

3. 3

   Make a well in the center of the mixture.

4. 4

   Combine buttermilk, apricot nectar, and egg; add to the well and mix with dry ingredients, until dry ingredients are moistened (dough will be sticky).

5. 5

   Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, flour you hands, and kneaded 4-5 times or knead it while still in the bowl (not traditional, but it seems to work for me).

6. 6

   Cut dough into 8 wedges.

7. 7

   Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes, or until golden.
