CRANBERRY PECAN SCONES
This recipe is delicious and healthful- it's half whole grains, although you'd never guess it! I make the oat flour by grinding up oatmeal or instant oatmeal. You could also substitute whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour. You can use fresh or frozen cranberries for this recipe.

Tips:
- Choose fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and hold their shape better during baking.
- Use cold butter: Cold butter creates flaky layers in the scones.
- Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the scones hold their shape and rise more evenly.
- Brush the scones with milk before baking: This helps them brown evenly.
- Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm, right out of the oven.
