The Best Cranberry Scones Ever, Recipe adapted from joyofbaking com This is our favorite scone recipethe scones are very festive looking and very light in texture Great for brunches! Another great thing about this recipe is that its easy and fast! I have managed to make this recipe in the morning before going to work (and I was on time) ;), I love these scones So does my family and so do my friends 🙂 The lemon and orange rind really bring them to life! I do like the crust when you to brush them with a little cream and then sprinkle on nuts and sugar before baking Then I skip the broiler I’m so lazy , I don’t know who was happier, but cranberry cupcakes and cranberry scones baked on the same day, MARVELOUS! Loved the two citrus flavors Came together fairly quick Did not broil after baking time, just lightly dusted with powdered sugar and let it melt on the hot scones Thnx for posting, Rosealicious Made for Fall 2008 PAC
