Cranberry Orange Scones
Oh heaven, these are my favorite. Yes, this is my favorite baked good that I have discovered on Pinterest. When I was younger, I thought scones were like a hard cookie that old English ladies ate. How wrong I was...
These feature that heavenly combination of cranberry and orange, which cannot be beat. If that's not your cup of tea, you're living a sad, sad life. No, just kidding (sorta). You might be able to substitute your favorites (chocolate chips, apple cinnamon, blueberry), but I haven't tried it. Let me know if you try and how it works!
Without further ado...

- In your large mixing bowl (I use my KitchenAid), combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. DON'T use your electric paddle for this part. Literally use two knives (or a pastry cutter) to do this.
- Pour in the buttermilk and mix until just incorporated (yes, you can use the electric mixer for this part).
- Mix in cranberries and orange peel.
- Form the dough into a ball and place it on a lightly floured surface. Cut the ball in half. With each half, form it into a flat disc (roughly 6 inches in diameter). Cut the discs into six wedges each. You should have 12 total.
- Place them on a baking sheet, separated. Brush each wedge with milk. In a separate bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over each wedge.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes, or until just starting to brown.
