How delicious do these scones look?? Yumm mmm mm! 🙂
These are a perfect treat with tea or just as an afternoon snack!
What you will need:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup granulated evaporated cane sugar
2 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. sea salt
3 Tbsp. butter cut into small pieces
1/4 cup fruit juice sweetened dried cranberries
2 tsp. grated orange rind (using only the colored part of the rind)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup fat-free buttermilk
1 tsp. confectioners’ sugar
Parchment or wax paper
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
Combine the butter, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. With a pastry blender, cut into the butter until the mixture is crumbly.
(You can also use 2 knives to do this – watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3SJVjCkpR0 )
Add the cranberries and orange rind and stir with a fork. Add the egg and buttermilk and stir with a fork until the dry ingredients are just moistened.
Gather the mixture into a ball, place on the baking sheet, and pat into a 7-inch circle. Cut into 10 one-inch wedges with a knife dipped in flour. Do not separate the wedges. Bake until golden brown and when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean – about 20 minutes.
Transfer to a rack. Sift the confectioners’ sugar over the top. Cut with a serrated knife while still warm and serve! (Makes about 7 servings) 🙂
Enjoy!!!

Hey there! Welcome to my blog! My name is KarenAnne Taggett. I am from a small town in Michigan called Lawton. I grew up there most of my life until I married my high school sweetheart Rich. He is in the U.S. Army and we have lived in North Carolina and Tennessee. We are currently stationed at Fort Campbell, KY.
Parker, our oldest son, who just turned 6 in May. How time flies! It seems like just yesterday he was born. I absolutely adore him and I think he knows it! ;) I love watching him grow more and more each and every day. He is a big first grader this year and while school can be challenging he is making the most of it and rocking it!
Grayson, our angel baby, was born sleeping on January 1, 2016 at 35 weeks and 5 days due to hyper-coiled umbilical cord. We miss him every single day but we feel him around us always, in the wind, sunshine, and all the pennies he leaves us. He will always be our baby boy.
Sullivan, our youngest, who just turned 1. He is our rainbow baby . I got pregnant with him a month after we lost Grayson. We were not expecting that but I think his brother Grayson sure knew what he was doing when he sent him to us. He is the sweetest boy and always so happy. He is our sunshine and then some!
We have one dog, a white Boxer named Love. She is such a love bug, hence her name. She just turned 9 in July. She's my only daughter and keeps me company in this full house of boys. She is very spoiled and I can't imagine my life without her.
I am an easy going person and down to earth! I call myself a genuine country girl! I love being a mom and an Army wife. I love spending time with my husband when time allows but we love being together as a family. We LOVE being outside and doing things around the house. We go to the parks a lot with our sons and dog. Anything to keep us outside, we love!
I'm on a mission to find what I want to be when I grow up. I thought it was a teacher, and now that I'm 99% done with my bachelors in elementary education, I don't feel that is where my heart is anymore. I'm also juggling mom life, military life, and being a stay at home mom. I know I have a calling or a purpose or what I'm supposed to do when I grow up, I just haven't figured that out yet.
I'm so glad you have taken the time to check out my blog! I hope you follow my journey, have some laughs, and join the silliness!
