Cranberry-Orange Scones

Cranberry-Orange Scones

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons salted butter (1 stick, frozen, grated)
  • 2 cups ultragrain flour
  • 1/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1 egg (large)
  • 1/2 cups dried cranberries
  • 2 teaspoons orange rind (about 2 oranges)

Directions

Using a food processor, grate butter. Add dry ingredients to bowl, and pulse to mix. Add sour cream and egg, and blend until moistened. Add cranberries and rind, and pulse until mixed in. (I like to use the blade to chop up the mix-ins while incorporating them.)

Turn dough out onto a counter or cutting board. Form into a disc about 8" in diameter and 3/4" thick. Cut into 8 triangular slices. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silapt about 1" apart, and bake at 400 for 15-18 minutes or until edges are slightly golden.

Allow to cool slightly, and serve immediately.
