Cranberry Scones (A Perfect Valentine’s Breakfast)

February 1, 2013 by Lisa Park + Leave a Comment

Cranberry Scones
These Cranberry Scones are really delicious! They are moist and are perfect for a Valentine’s breakfast. Plus, it doesn’t take a lot of time to whip them together and place in the oven. My husband asks me to make these all of the time. To make these for Valentine’s Day, use a heart shape cookie cutter to cut out the dough, and use pink frosting on top. Here’s how to make them:
Cranberry Scones (A Perfect Valentine's Breakfast)
Print
Ingredients
  • CRANBERRY SCONES:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 Tablespoons butter, frozen
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • ICING:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1-2 Tablespoons milk
  • red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate frozen butter into flour mixture using the large holes of a grater. Then use the mixer to mix in the butter. Add in cranberries.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and egg until smooth. Stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until dough forms.
  4. Gather the dough into a ball and place on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into 7- to 8-inch circle about ¾-inch thick. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar.
  5. Use a heart-shape cookie cutter to cut out dough or use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles. Place cut out dough about one inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 15 to 17 minutes. Allow to Cool
  6. To make icing, mix together the powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla and milk. Add 1-2 drops of red food coloring. Place icing in a plastic bag and seal. Clip a tiny portion of the bag off a bottom corner and pipe icing onto scones.

Here is one tip to budget for Christmas. Give chil Here is one tip to budget for Christmas. Give children gifts based on age. Because older children tend to want more expensive gifts than the younger siblings, try this budgeting method to determine how much to spend on each child.  First: Add together the ages of your kids.  Johnny, 5; Sally, 7; Joe, 12 = 24  Second: Divide the Christmas budget total for the kids by the sum of their ages. Let's say the Christmas budget is $500.  $500/24 = $20.83  I rounded it to $21 to make it easier to calculate   Third:Take the number from above and multiply each child's age.  $21 x 5 = $105
$21 x 7 = $147
$21 x 12 = $252  You would spend the amount of money above on each child for Christmas. What tips do you have to budget for Christmas? #christmasbudget #christmaspurchases #christmasspending
