Cape Cod Cranberry Scones

Directions

Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃).

In mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and baking soda; cut in butter with pastry blended or two knives.

Stir in cranberries, orange peel and sugar; stir in buttermilk just until ingredients are moistened.

Working on floured surface, shape dough into two 8-inch circles, ½-inch thick.

Cut each circle into eight wedges and place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned.

Note: You may brush the top of scones with egg white, then sprinkle with some sliced almonds if you wish before baking.
