Cape Cod Cranberry Scones Recipe

Scones are a nice break from the doughnuts and bagels in my mind. Mix in some cranberries and you get a great bread for any meal.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup butter or margarine
• 1 cup cranberries, coarsely chopped
• 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and baking soda; cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives. Stir in cranberries, orange peel and sugar; stir in buttermilk just until ingredients are moistened. Working on floured surface, shape dough into two 8-inch circles, 1/2-inch thick. Cut each circle into eight wedges and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned.
