Time 40m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 lime
1/2 cup whole milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups frozen cranberries
1 large egg
Nonstick cooking spray or butter, for the baking sheet
1/4 cup raw sugar (or granulated sugar)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Zest the lime with a grater and add 1 teaspoon of the zest to the bowl.
  • Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into a small bowl. Reserve the other half of the lime for later. Add the milk to the bowl with the lime juice. The milk will curdle, producing buttermilk!
  • Add the finely cut butter to the flour mixture and gently rub it with your hands or use a pastry blender until it is coarse and mealy; you don't want to work it in completely. Stir in the frozen cranberries.
  • Whisk the egg into the milk mixture in the small bowl. Add the liquid from the small bowl into the butter-flour-and-cranberry mixture, folding until the dough just comes together.
  • On a lightly floured surface, press the dough into a 1-inch-thick round disk. Cut the disk into 8 slices.
  • Grease or spray a heavy baking sheet with butter or nonstick spray. Evenly space the dough wedges on the sheet. Squeeze the remaining lime half over top of each wedge to create a "glue," then sprinkle with the raw sugar. Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the tops of the scones are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.
