Apricot Cobbler

• 1 1/2 lb fresh apricots, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
• 7 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 3/4 to 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 teaspoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
• 1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk

1. Toss all filling ingredients together in a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie plate and let stand until juicy, about 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 400F.
3. Sift together flour, baking powder and soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a bowl.
4. Blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.
5. Stir in buttermilk with a fork just until combined (do not overmix).
6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough over filling, leaving spaces in between to allow topping to expand.
7. Sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons sugar.
8. Bake cobbler in middle of oven until fruit is tender and topping is golden, about 30 minutes.
9. Cool slightly, about 15 minutes, and serve warm.
