Cranberry Scones

Submitted by AuntMare

"This is one of the easiest scone recipes you'll ever make! I've made them as gifts for teachers by combining the dry ingredients in a holiday bag, top with dried cranberries and attach the rest of the directions. Quick, easy, and yummy!"

Delicious, but a little less dense and dry than other scones (which many people will probably like). I used blueberries and lemon zest as I don't like cranberries and used the yogurt option using Greek yogurt. I am very pleased with the recipe anc will try it with different flavor additions.

Yummy! This is a great recipe. I followed the directions as written and wouldn't change a thing. So easy to make and they taste terrific. I'll be making these again. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC 2011.

So easy and good! I added a bit of nutmeg and vanilla to the batter. Will make these over and over again!

Very easy to make & go well cut in half & buttered with a nice hot cuppa :) They would be even better with a spread of jam & topped with whipped cream!!!! I have made these every weekend for the past 3weeks and even used buttermilk in place of the cream and that worked fine :) A real keeper in our house :)
