Preheat oven to 425. Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in apricots and pecans.
In a medium bowl, combine thoroughly 2/3 cup milk and eggs. Pour all at once into dry ingredients and combine just until moistened.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 10 times or until dough comes together and is smooth. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, pat out into a 9-inch round. Cut dough into 8 wedges, but do not separate them.
Brush 1 T milk over scones for glaze; sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Separate scones and serve warm with butter. Also good cold!

Both of my boys grew up learning how to cook and bake (survival skills!) My youngest introduced me to scones. Since then, I have tried many scone recipes and this is a definite favorite.
