List of Ingredients
Scones:
3 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, halved
1 egg
1/3 to 1/2 cup buttermilk
Orange Butter:
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
Recipe
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease large cookie sheet. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar and 1 teaspoon orange peel; mix well. With pastry blender or fork, cut in 1/2 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cranberries.
Place egg in 1-cup measuring cup; beat well. Add buttermilk to make 2/3 cup. Add to flour mixture; stir gently with fork until dry particles begin to cling together. (Do not add more liquid. Mixture may be crumbly.)
On lightly floured surface, gently press dough together to form ball. Divide dough in half. Place both halves on greased cookie sheet; flatten each into 6-inch round. With floured knife or pizza cutter, cut each into 8 wedges. Separate wedges slightly, about 1/2 inch apart.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine all orange butter ingredients; blend well. Serve warm scones with orange butter.
