Cranberry Nut Scones

SERVES: 8

COOK TIME: 25 Min

These are English scones with a twist...one that deserves to be noticed. And when you serve these, I guarantee they'll be noticed!

What You'll Need

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, divided
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (½ stick) room temperature butter, cut into 4 even slices
1/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 can (5.33 ounces) evaporated skim milk
1 egg

What to Do

Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix well. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until crumbly, then stir in the cranberries and walnuts.
In a small bowl, combine the milk and egg, whisk to mix. Add the egg mixture to the flour and stir just until blended.
On a floured surface, knead the dough 5 to 6 times, then place on an ungreased baking sheet and press into a circle about 1-inch thick and 8-inches across. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar. Bake on the middle oven rack for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown.

Makes 8 scones.

Notes

Sweetened dried cranberries are becoming widely available and make a super snack or mix-in.

I am looking for recipes to use the cherries from my tree that I labored to freeze for the winter. Was hoping to find one to use in scones. They all call for dried fruit. If I substitute the drained drained cherries for the dried cranberries what would that do to the scone??? I have made this with the dried cranberries and it is wonderful.

I would thaw and drain cherries, cut them up and try in the recipe. If the dough seems too wet, add a bit more flour. Let us all know how it turns out.
