Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar + an extra Tbsp for sprinkling
  • 1 t baking powder
  • 1/4 t baking soda
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 8 Tbls Lurpak butter 1 stick or 113gm (cold or frozen)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 400F / 200C.
  2. By hand, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Grate the butter into the flour mixture on the large holes of a grater. Using your fingers work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse crumb. Stir in dried cranberries and the zest.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the milk and egg until smooth.
  4. Using a fork, stir egg/milk mixture into flour mixture until a dough forms.
  5. Empty the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead briefly so that it comes together. Pat down to form a large flattened disk. Using a sharp-floured knife or pastry cutter cut the dough into 8 triangles. Place these on a lined baking tray allowing space in between each. Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of sugar over the top surface of the scones.
  6. Bake for about 15 – 20 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve this warm out of the oven with lashings of Lurpak salted butter
