Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Gold Medal™ whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger or cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
1/3 cup buttermilk or sour milk*
3/4 cup dried cranberries or dried currants
Buttermilk or milk
3 tablespoons rolled oats

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
  • In a small bowl, combine egg product and the 1/3 cup buttermilk; stir in dried cranberries. Add the buttermilk mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Using a fork, stir just until moistened (some of the dough may look dry).
  • Turn out dough onto a floured surface. Quickly knead dough by gently folding and pressing for 10 to 12 strokes or until nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll the dough into an 8-inch circle. Lightly brush top of dough with additional buttermilk or milk; sprinkle with oats, pressing gently into dough. Cut dough circle into 12 wedges.
  • Place dough wedges 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Serve warm.
  • *To make 1/3 cup sour milk, place 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar in a glass measuring cup. Add enough milk to make 1/3 cup total liquid; stir. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes before using.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones turned out really dense and dry.

I've never been a big fan of scones, but these ones were actually really good! They were light and fluffy, and the cranberries added a nice tartness.

These scones were absolutely delightful! They had a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness, and the buttermilk gave them a lovely tang. I also loved the addition of cranberries, which added a festive touch.
