Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix the baking soda and the sour cream in a large liquid measuring cup and set aside.
- Whisk all your dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add your butter and cut in until it's crumbly.
- Take your lemon and grate the peel off of it into the flour mixture.
- Cut your lemon in half, and squeeze all the juice out, picking out the seeds. You should get almost a 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
- Add in enough milk to bring it to 1/3 of a cup. Don't worry if the milk curdles.
- Mix the sour cream, milk, and egg into the dry ingredients. Once it's mixed a bit, add in the cranberries. Divide into three balls, then flatten into 6-inch wide disks. Cut each piece into 6 triangles.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown, from 18-23 minutes depending on your oven. The bottoms will be golden brown and the tops hard and crispy.
- Remove and eat warm or cool.
Notes
- This is a dry scone mixture, that's how they end up crispy and buttery. Keep mixing until the ingredients come together.
