I just had to share another recipe using delicious dried cranberries. These Cranberry Almond Scones are so easy and they make the perfect holiday breakfast – or any breakfast for that matter.
Easy Cranberry Almond Scones
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Serves 8
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar.
- Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut the butter into the flour until the butter resembles the size of small peas.
- Add the milk, egg, vanilla, cranberries and almonds and mix well. The dough should be biscuit-like and not too sticky. (You may need to use your hands to get it all blended well and worked together.)
- Add a sprinkle of flour and work again if the dough is too sticky or a few drops of milk if it’s too stiff.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface or pastry cloth and sprinkle it with a little flour.
- Pat the dough into an 8-inch round about 3/4″ thick.
- Use a knife to cut the dough into 8 triangle “slices” and transfer them to the baking pan, placing them about an inch apart.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm.
