Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter cold
  • 3 tablespoons full milk cold
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Cut the dried cranberries into smaller pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another small bowl, combine the milk and 2 tablespoons of beaten egg; add this to the crumb mixture, mixing just until moistened. Stir in the chopped dried cranberries.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 6-8 times. Pat it into a 6-inch (15 cm) circle.
  4. Cut the dough into eight wedges. Separate the wedges and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill for 30 minutes (this step is optional).
  5. Brush the scones with the remaining egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
