Everyday Food's Cranberry Scones

Cranberry Scones

Scones are the perfect food to make in the morning. Things need to be cold so you don't have to get things to room temp. You can even put the ingredients together the night before, pastry cut it in the morning, pop them into the oven and take a shower. When you come out with some "Gee, your hair smell terrific" hair (I must admit I bought that shampoo in my youth), you have fresh, yummy, buttery, and rich scones.

How perfect is that? This would be delightful to have this holiday season after Santa and friends come for a visit. Find the recipe on the Martha Stewart website here.

Cranberry scones
Only seven ingredients! Flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, half-and-half (I made my own with cream and milk), and a 1/2 cup cranberries. I brushed on some cream and sprinkled the top with sugar in the raw. I also cut mine into 16 scones instead of 8.
