Irish Cran Oat Scones
I found this recipe on the Food Network site. It came from the show Calling all Cooks. These are easy and very good!! You can also brush the tops of the scones with cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar before baking to add a little crunch and some extra sweetness. (we thought they were perfect...with the added sugar crunch!)
