Cranberry Lemon Scones
adapted from Martha Stewart
makes 8 large scones
2 cups all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon raw sugar, for topping
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
2/3 cup fat-free half and half
zest from one lemon
½ cup fresh cranberries
Preheat oven to 425°. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, white sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add butter and begin blending with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture is crumbly and the butter is fully incorporated. Pour in the half and half until the mixture is just combined, then fold in the cranberries and lemon zest gently. Move the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead a few times. Form the dough into a round, about 1-inch thick, and cut into 8 wedges. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon raw sugar, transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the tops have browned. Cool before serving.

These look so yummy! Cranberries and lemons are such a good pair!
I just made these today and they’re amazing! I had to improvise because I didn’t have half and half or anything to zest a lemon with, but they still turned out well. I even got fancy and made some glaze for them. Scones are definitely going to be a staple part of my diet now.
I heart scones and these look AMAZING!!!

I made these this morning and was thrilled to find that they tasted as delicious as the ones I devoured in London!
These sound devine, but what is half and half? And what could be used as an alternative?
