¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold butter or margarine
½ cup chopped dried apricots
½ cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, divided

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add apricots, pecans and orange peel. With a fork, rapidly stir in 1 cup heavy whipping cream just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 5-6 times. Divide in half, flatten with rolling pin and cut with round 6-inch cookie cutter and fold in half. Place 1-inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with remaining heavy whipping cream. Bake at 375 degrees for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Serve with Devonshire Cream, Honey Butter and Lemon Curd.
