Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are in season from September to November, but frozen cranberries are available year-round. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the scones rise more evenly.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown. The scones are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the scones warm or at room temperature. The scones are best served with butter, cream cheese, or your favorite jam.
