Cranberry & Raisin Scones image

Usually I find scones too dry but these are very moist! Serve them warm from the oven with butter & preserves - or make a day ahead & store in an air-tight container. You can use just cranberries or just raisins but I prefer the combination. If you don't have 18% cream (table cream in Canada) you can replace with 1/2 cup of whipping cream (heavy cream) + 1/2 cup of whole milk or 2% milk - but not 1% or skim milk!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones turned out really dense. They were still edible, but they weren't very good.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
