Grandma's Cranberry Scones

Directions

Using a fork, in large bowl combine flour, sugar, orange peel, baking powder and baking soda.

With pastry blender, cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add cranberries and currants; stir to combine.

Add buttermilk and vanilla to flour mixture and stir to combine (mixture will be dry).

Form dough into 2 equal balls.

Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃). Sprinkle clean work surface with 1 tablespoon reserved flour.

On floured surface, using fingertips, work one-half of dough into 6-inch circle, about ½-inch thick.

Cut circle into 6 equal wedges; place wedges on nonstick baking sheet, leaving a space of about 1 inch between each.

Repeat procedure, using remaining flour and dough.

Bake until lightly browned, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove scones to wire rack and let cool.
