You can eat these cranberry scones for breakfast or as a snack in the middle of the day. They are soft and buttery, and they are full of sweet dried cranberries.
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 tablespoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed. 1/2 cup dried cranberries. 1/2 cup milk. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400F 200C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the dried cranberries. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick and use a round biscuit cutter to cut out scones. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden brown. Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your cranberry scones!
