Lemon-Cranberry Scones

Print Options
Description
Light and tasty scones, perfect for breakfast, brunch or with coffee or tea.
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- ¼ cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Cold
- ½ cups Dried Cranberries
- Zest Of One Lemon
- ⅔ cups Buttermilk
- 2 Tablespoons Milk (optional)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare one pan for baking.
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut in butter. I like to rub the pieces of butter through the flour with my fingers, but you may also use a food processor until mixture resembles large peas and cornmeal.
Add cranberries and lemon zest and mix together. Stir in buttermilk until dough holds together.
Knead lightly on a floured surface. Pat dough into a circle about eight inches across and cut into eight wedges, like a pie. Place them two inches apart on baking pan. Brush tops with milk and bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.

i made these tonight to kill the until the time until i am supposed to pick up my daughter from a friends house. they are amazing! so quick and so easy to make. the dried cranberries pair up well with the lemon flavor.
i patted my dough out to about 1″ thickness and used a biscuit cutter to make 10 round scones instead of triangles. they baked for the same amount of time.
also, not to waste the juice from the lemon i zested, i mixed the juice from 1 lemon with 1/2 cup powdered sugar to make a glaze which i drizzled over the top of the still warm scones. so yummy!
thanks so much for sharing

Yum and yum! I like my scones a little bit more “biscuit-y” so if you’re looking for a super tender, flaky moist scone, this isn’t it. This is more baking-powder-biscuit-ish. But delicious! I’ve found my new go-to scone recipe with this recipe! I’ve substituted ingredients and made cranberry-orange scones and also almond-cherry scones. All are delicious!
