CONCORD CRANBERRY SCONES

THESE CRANBERRY SCONES ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITES. I LOVE THE TART TASTE THAT THE CRANBERRIES IMPART. THIS RECIPE COMES FROM THE CONCORD CENTER BED AND BREAKFAST IN MASSACHUSETTS.





List of Ingredients



• 2 1/2 CUPS FLOUR
  
• 2 1/2 TEASPOONS BAKING POWDER
  
• 1/2 TEASPOON BAKING SODA
  
• 3/4 CUP BUTTER
  
• 1 CUP COARSELY CHOPPED CRANBERRIES, FROZEN OR FRESH
  
• 2 TEASPOONS GRATED ORANGE PEEL
  
• 2/3 CUP SUGAR
  
• 1/2 CUP BUTTERMILK
  






Instructions



1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 400°.
   
2. COMBINE FLOUR, BAKING POWDER AND BAKING SODA IN A MIXING BOWL. CUT IN BUTTER WITH A PASTRY CUTTER OR FORK OR 2 KNIVES. STIR IN CRANBERRIES, ORANGE PEEL AND SUGAR. STIR IN BUTTERMILK UNTIL ALL INGREDIENTS ARE MOISTENED.
   
3. SHAPE DOUGH INTO 8" CIRCLES, 1/2" THICK ON FLOURED SURFACE. CUT EACH CIRCLE INTO 8 WEDGES AND PLACE ON UNGREASED COOKIE SHEET.

Final Comments


YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE GRATED LEMON PEEL FOR THE ORANGE PEEL. JUST BEFORE BAKING, BRUSH WITH SOME MILK OR MELTED BUTTER, THEN SPRINKLE WITH SUGAR.

ENJOY!
