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.
