Cranberry Buttermilk Scones


I make this christmastime for breakfast.

Steps


Blend 1 / 4 cup of the flour with the cranberries and let stand over night to absorb excess moisture.
Next day , mix remaining flour and all other dry ingredients.
Cut into butter until mixture is consistency of oatmeal.
Stir in cranberries in the flour and orange rind.
Blend eggs and buttermilk.
Add to dry ingredients , mixing until just blended.
If dough is sticky , flour hands and pat into a 6-inch ball.
Score into six wedges.
Bake in 400f oven for 15 minutes.
Glaze with fresh cream and sugar immediately after baking.

Ingredients
