Orange and Cranberries,
a deliciable combination;
gives these scones their great taste.

Great for breakfast with jam
or a delightful snack
anytime of the day.
Your kitchen will smell divine
while these are baking.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted cold butter cubed
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Grated rind of one orange
3/4 cup buttermilk or milk,
(you can make your own buttermilk
by adding 1 tbsp vinegar
or lemon juice
to one cup of milk,
let stand for 10 minutes.)
1 egg lightly beaten
(makes approx. 16 scones)
Instructions
Heat oven to 425 deg.
In a large bowl, whisk
together flour, sugar,
baking powder and salt.
Cut in butter until it resembles
coarse crumbs.
Mix in the orange rind and
cranberries with a fork
Beat the egg in a measuring cup and
add the buttermilk to make 1 cup.
(I was a little over)
Pour the buttermilk mixture
into the flour mixture.
Keep a little to brush
on the top of the scones.
Roll out with a rolling pin or
pat out with hands
pat out with hands
approx. 3/4 inch thick
on a floured surface
Using a 2" floured cookie cutter,
cut out biscuits.
Place on a cookie sheet
Brush tops with reserved milk mixture.
Bake 425 deg. about 16 mins.
or longer if you like them more dark.
A batch I made for St. Patrick's Day.
In the another batch below,
I cut them square.
It saves time,
in rolling out the
dough a second time..
Enjoy!!
