ingredients

6 cups apricots, pitted and sliced
¹⁄₂ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
4 teaspoons lemon juice
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground cardamom
Biscuit Topping
1 ¹⁄₂ cups all-purpose flour
¹⁄₄ cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₃ cup cold butter
¹⁄₂ cup buttermilk
Glaze
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

directions

In a large bowl, toss together the apricots, sugar, flour, lemon rind and juice and cardamom to coat.
Scrape into an 8" square glass baking dish and set aside.
To make the biscuit topping, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the buttermilk all at once, stirring with a fork to make a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Gather the dough into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough about 10 times or until smooth.
Pat out into a circle about 1/2" thick.
Using a 3" round cookie cutter, cut into rounds, rerolling and cutting the scraps.
Arrange over the fruit.
Brush the rounds lightly with the milk and sprinkle with the sugar.
Bake in a 375 degree F oven until the centre biscuit is no longer doughy underneath, about 40 minutes.
Serve warm.

I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!
