LEMON CRANBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F.
• In a large bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and salt.
• Cut the cold butter into small cubes to make it easier to distribute throughout the dry ingredients. If you have frozen sticks of butter, try grating it into the dry ingredients.
• Using a fork or pastry blender cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. This is pretty much already achieved if you grate in frozen butter as suggested above.
• Add cold buttermilk and vanilla. Mix with a fork or dough whisk (pictured above) until a wet dough forms.
• Gently fold in dried cranberries.
• Divide the dough into 12 somewhat equal pieces and bake on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake until lightly golden on top edges - 15-20 minutes.
• Once out of the oven, let the scones cool for a couple minutes and then drizzle each with the prepared lemon glaze. Add extra lemon zest to the tops.

CRAN OAT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the dough is crumbly. Fold in the cranberries. Add the buttermilk and stir lightly with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together to form a ball. (The dough will be sticky, but resist the temptation to overwork it.)
• On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough into a large circle about 2 inches thick. Cut the dough into wedges. With a spatula, transfer the wedges to a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake for 22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Best served warm and on the day they are made.
