List of Ingredients




2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons wheat germ
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons cold, unsalted butter cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
1-1/2 cup fresh or dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped fresh pecans
1/4 cup milk


Recipe



Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat 2 large cookie sheets with cooking oil spray. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and cut it in, using your fingers or a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles corn meal. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg, extracts, and orange zest. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients; add the liquid, and quickly mix to blend. Gently fold in the cranberries and the pecans.

The dough will be sticky, so form the scones using floured hands. Use a spoon to scoop enough dough into floured hands to form a scone. Round it gently and place the scone on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat for the remaining scones, leaving some room in between for spreading. Using a pastry brush, gently brush each scone with some milk. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. Cool for several minutes before serving.
