CRANBERRY-ORANGE BUTTERMILK SCONES



Cranberry-Orange Buttermilk Scones image

I couldn't find this exact recipe posted, so I am posting ANOTHER cranberry scone recipe. :) My mom makes these and they always turn out moist and flaky. They are especially good if you use dried cranberries that are flavored with orange (I found them at Trader Joe's). Since I don't usually have buttermilk on hand, I combine 1 Tbsp. lemon juice plus enough milk to equal one cup and let it curdle while I am mixing the dry ingredients.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries provide a tart and tangy flavor to the scones. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Roll out the dough to the right thickness: The dough should be rolled out to a thickness of about 1 inch. If the dough is too thick, the scones will be dense. If the dough is too thin, the scones will be dry.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones should be baked at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes. Bake the scones until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the scones cool before serving: Let the scones cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the scones to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

These skinny cranberry buttermilk scones are a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. They are made with whole wheat flour, oats, and cranberries, and they are low in fat and calories.
