To make good biscuits and scones, the
dough should be handled as little as possible. A few quick kneads is all they
need.
If you don't have dried cranberries, you can use any dried fruit such as raisins
or currants. |

Quick Cranberry Nut Scones
2 1/2 C. buttermilk baking mix
3 T. sugar
1/3 C. butter
1/2 C. dried cranberries
1/2 C. chopped walnuts
1/2 C. milk
2 eggs
1 T. milk
1 T. sugar
Preheat the oven to 450° F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, combine the baking mix and sugar. Cut in the butter with a
pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the cranberries and nuts. In a cup, beat together the eggs and the milk.
Add to the flour mixture.
Turn the dough out onto a floured board. Lightly knead about 5 times. Roll the
dough out to a 9 inch square. Cut this into 9 three inch squares. Cut each
square diagonally into a triangle, for a total of 18 triangles.
Place the scones, 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with
the 1 T. of milk and sprinkle with the sugar.
Bake the scones for 12 - 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
