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!!!
