Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 container (5.3 oz) Greek vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup whole milk
1 egg, beaten
Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon whole milk)
Coarse sugar

Steps:

  • Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper; set aside.
  • In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt and granulated sugar with whisk. Toss in butter, and pinch butter into flour using your fingertips or pastry blender until there are oatmeal-sized flakes of butter throughout. Add cranberries and walnuts, tossing to combine.
  • In small bowl, beat yogurt, milk and 1 egg with whisk. Add to flour mixture; stir gently until just combined. Place dough on work surface sprinkled with flour; knead a few times to bring dough together. Gently pat dough out into a round; cut into 8 wedges using sharp knife. Transfer wedges to cookie sheet. Brush tops of wedges with egg wash; sprinkle generously with coarse sugar. Place in freezer for several hours--until frozen solid--before transferring to freezer bag and stashing back in freezer until ready to bake.
  • To bake frozen scones, heat oven to 425°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper, and place as many scones as you'd like to bake onto cookie sheet. Bake frozen scones 18 to 20 minutes or until brown. Cool slightly before serving.

I've made these scones several times now and they are always a hit. They are so easy to make and they turn out perfect every time. I love the combination of cranberries and walnuts. They are the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

These scones were delicious! I made them for my family and they loved them. The cranberries and walnuts added a nice tart and crunchy flavor. The scones were also very moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again.

These scones were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was great. I think I will try adding a little more moisture next time.
