Lemon Cranberry Scones

Yield: 6 scones

Preheat your oven to 350*F

• 1/2 teaspoon Salt

• 1 1/2 cups Flour

• 1/4 cup Sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda

• 1 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder

• 1/2 cup Butter, cold, cubed

• 1/2 cup Buttermilk

• 1 Egg

• 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract (or the zest of 1 lemon)

• 1/4 cup Dried Cranberries

Glaze:

• 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

• Enough Icing Sugar to thicken to a drizzling consistency ~1/4-1/2 cup

1. In a large bowl stir together your dry ingredients - salt, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder.

2. Using your fingers pinch and rub in the butter until the mixture looks sandy but still has some pea sized chunks of butter.

3. Now pour in your liquid ingredients - buttermilk, egg, lemon extract, and you can also add in the cranberries at this time too. Stir just until combined.

4. On a floured surface shape your dough into a rough circle about 1” thick, then using a knife cut the circle like a pie, into 6 pieces.

5. Place onto a lined baking tray and brush the tops with a little buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.

6. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.

7. While baking, mix together your glaze, lemon juice and icing sugar, just add enough icing sugar until you get a thin paste.

8. Once your scones come out of the oven, drizzle the glaze on them while hot.

9. Now eat! Yay!!
