Tasty Tuesday

Another week gone by, another recipe is here!  Drumroll please for…….

Cranberry Scones

This recipe came from a lady in our old church in Castro Valley.  I make these all. the. time.  Really, several times a month.  We love these scones and I always have cranberries on hand because the boys are cranberry fiends.  Here we go.

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 T. baking powder
• 1/2 t. baking soda
• 1/2 t. salt
• zest of 1 orange
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold butter, cut in small pieces
• 1 cup dried cranberries or 1 1/2 cups fresh
• 1/4 cup juice of the orange you zested + 1/4 cup milk

Directions

• In food processor place flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, zest, and butter.  Mix until blended.
• Add cranberries and mix.  Slowly pour in liquid (juice + milk) while food processor is running until dough forms ball.  Dough should be soft but not sticky.  If sticky, add flour until ball is firm, but not wet.
• Form dough into 2 balls.  Flatten one ball into a circle about 1/2” thick.  Lightly brush with milk and sprinkle and sugar.  Cut into eights and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.  Repeat with other ball. 
• Bake 400 degrees for 12-20 minutes until golden brown.

Enjoy! 

I will really try to update with pictures soon, I was just in Washington over the weekend visiting my sister and friend and have some great pics. Have a great week!
