1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and the next 4 ingredients (flour through salt), and cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the apricots. Combine the buttermilk and eggs, stirring with a whisk. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist (dough will be sticky).

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 times. Pat dough into a 9-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut dough into 12 wedges, cutting into but not through dough. Combine 2 teaspoons sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle over dough. Bake at 400u00b0 for 20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.
