Last week, I posted a recipe for Pumpkin Scones. I want to mention that they were well-received on Thanksgiving morning!:-) They did have to share the bread basket with these, though.

| I patted out the dough! |

| The dough was cut into eight wedges. Wait a minute! The Husband must have sneaked one off the rack! |
CRANBERRY-ORANGE SCONES
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoonbaking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons sugar
1Tablespoon grated orange rind
1/2 cup butter, cut up
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 cup dried cranberries
1 Tablespoon milk
1 Tablespoon sugar
- Combine first six ingredients; cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Add buttermilk and dried cranberries, stirring just until moistened.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead five or six times. Pat into an 8-inch circle. Cut into eight wedges, and place one inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with milk, and sprinkle with 1 Tablespoon sugar.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until scones are golden brown.
These will be repeated! Boy Munchkin really enjoyed them!:-)
One of the finest programs I have watched on TV in awhile was on our local PBS station last night. Celtic Woman presented an outstanding Christmas performance! I hope some of you were able to enjoy it as well.
There has been some encouraging news about NanaDiana's grandson, thanks to some information passed along by another blogger. Some of you follow NanaDiana's blog. For those of you who do not, I will keep you posted on developments.

Nellie, Please drop my name into the hat for that sweet calender. I do love to hear the Celtic women sing. What music. The orange/cranberry scones sound pretty good too. :):) xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI love that recipe, I will be adding it to my collection of recipes, orange and cranberry is a big favorite here.

These really do sound yummy! I just might try my hand at them soon, so I appreciate the recipe. It's great to hear the encouraging news about NanaDiana's grandson, too, and I hope there will be more of that coming up soon! Have a terrific Tuesday, Sister!
ReplyDeleteI have a sneaky feeling my hubby would have made off with one, too! No problem with that, since I don't do much baking. If I was much good at it, we'd both be a lot fatter! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear there is encouraging news about NanaDiana's grandson.
The recipe sounds delicious!! Thank you Nellie.

Oh they look good. I make more Welsh cookies today.
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy. I may have to try that one - maybe for Christmas morning.

Gee Nellie - I just made some cranberry orange muffins! We must be geniuses or something. :D
ReplyDeleteOh my, were these ever delicious! I sure did enjoy them. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Nellie, your scones look wonderful, I like cranberry orange anything! I had a mishap on Thanksgiving morning, fell in the kitchen carrying my poor little birdie in its cage and pretty sure I broke several toes, bruised from toes to my knee. Been hobbling around. xo
