Cranberry-Orange Buttermilk Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup cold butter or 3/4 cup margarine
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup dried cranberries
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

In a bowl, combine the flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Cut in butter till crumbly.
Stir in buttermilk gently until just combined.
Fold in cranberries and orange peel.
Turn onto a floured surface and divide into two balls.
Pat each ball into a six inch circle and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Cut each into six wedges, leaving them together on the pan.
Brush with milk, then sprinkle on the sugar combined with the cinnamon.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
You can also cut them into circles with a round cookie cutter, but the baking time will be less if you place them on the baking sheet not touching each other.
