Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup cold butter cubed
  • 2/3 cups frozen cranberries
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup milk

Instruction

  • Pre-heat your oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
  • Mix the flour, cinnamon, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl.
  • Mix in the cold cubed butter, just like you would if you where making pie dough or homemamde biscuits.
  • When the mixture is crumbly and no large chunks of butter remain, stir in the frozen cranberries and brown sugar and mix well.
  • Add the milk to the cranberry scone dough, and mix until a soft and sticky dough is formed.
  • turn the dough out on a floured counter-top, and knead two or three times to smooth out the dough. Add a little flout if the dough is very sticky.
  • With a rolling pin roll out the dough until it is about half an inch thick. Then cut the dough into individual cranberry scones. The shape is entierly up to you but triangles are traditional!
  • Arrange the scones on your baking sheet, and brush with milk, then sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake at 400F for 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Cool the cranberry scones on a wire rack or serve them warm for breakfast or brunch!
