Prep Time:	45 min
Cooking Time:	30 min
Servings:	6 people

Ingredients:

Filling:
1 lb fresh apricots, cut in 1/2-inch wedges
7 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp flour
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp vanilla
Topping:
3/4 c flour
1/3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 tsp sugar
2 tsp cold butter, cut into chunks
1/2 c well-shaken buttermilk

Directions:

Toss all filling ingredients together in a 9-inch glass baking dish and let stand until juicy, about 30 min.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Sift together flour, baking powder and soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a bowl. Blend in butter until mixture looks like coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk with a fork just until combined.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough over filling, leaving spaces in between to allow topping to expand. Sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons sugar.
Bake cobbler until fruit is tender about 30 minutes. Serve warm.
