3. Take a bowl and mix together butter, egg, buttermilk, brown sugar, almond extract and vanilla extract. Also add in apricots.
4. In a different bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Make a gap in the centre and add all the wet ingredients to it. Mix together but don’t fold in too much.
