Directions Cranberry Scones
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a large bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, toss cranberries with sugar, add to flour mixture along with orange peel and nuts. Mix lightly.
In another bowl, beat together cream and egg, slowly pour into dry ingredients, mixing with rubber scraper until dough forms. Knead dough 4 or 5 times, being careful not to over handle. Divide dough in half. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Shape each half into a 6 inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Place scones on lightly greased baking sheets.
Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
