Time 40m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 14

¾ cup milk
1 teaspoon white vinegar
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon grated nutmeg
½ cup butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1 cup dried cranberries
½ cup chopped pecans
1 egg white, beaten
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine 3/4 cup milk and vinegar in a bowl; let stand until milk is curdled, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender. Smooth remaining butter clumps with hands; stir in milk mixture, cranberries, and pecans. Knead until dough comes together in a ball.
  • Place dough onto a floured work surface. Roll out with a rolling pin to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut into long, 2-inch wide strips with a sharp knife; cut strips into triangles. Transfer to the baking sheet. Brush tops with egg white.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Combine confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons milk in a small bowl; mix until combined. Drizzle over scones.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover cranberries. They're also a great make-ahead breakfast or snack. I like to make a batch on the weekend and then freeze them for later.
