List of Ingredients
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 cup chopped fresh cranberries
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Recipe
Combine the first four ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Blend in the margarine with a fork until the mixture is crumbly. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the zest and cranberries. In another bowl, beat the eggs well and then stir the milk into them.
Make a well in the middle of the dry mixture and pour the wet ingredients into it. Stir just until blended. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead a few times. Pat the dough to a 1/4 inch thickness. Use a butter knife to cut heart shapes. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 400 for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes 8 scones.
Toppings:
Quick Strawberry Jam:
Empty a 16-ounce package of unsweetened frozen strawberries into a glass bowl. Microwave on medium until the berries are hot and soft (about 12 minutes). Stir in a 3-ounce package of strawberry Jell-O.
Fruit Butter
Blend 2 parts softened butter and 1 part strawberry, raspberry, or apricot jam.
Flavored Cream Cheese
Smooth 4 ounces of cream cheese with a wooden spoon. (Add a tablespoon of yogurt for a creamier consistency.) Fold in a few fresh or defrosted strawberries or raspberries.
