Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest preferably Meyer lemons, finely chopped
  • cups flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut in pieces
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400
  2. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together and then cut in the butter with a pastry blender (or use your fingers if you want)
  3. Add cranberries.
  4. In separate bowl, beat egg, yolk and cream together.
  5. Add to flour mixture and stir until just combined - don't overdo it
  6. Dump the dough onto a floured board
  7. Now, be creative - Scones are typically triangular in shape, but can be round square, heart or whatever shape you want.
  8. For triangles, form dough into a couple of 6" diameter circles and make 4 cuts in the circle like a pizza, making 8 triangles.
  9. Arrange on baking sheet about 1" apart.
  10. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
  11. Allow to cool slightly, and then drizzle with pastry icing
  12. Serve with Clotted cream, Mascarpone or Double Devon cream
