Craisins Scones

I love these scones. I like to add some grated orange zest to the dough.

Thanks to Michelle Stayner for sharing the recipe.

Combine:

2 cups flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt.

Cut in:

1/2 cup shortening.

Add:

1/2 cup Craisins
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup milk

Mix until moistened. Divide into 2 balls and flatten and cut into triangles. Sprinkle with extra granulated sugar.


Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 F for 15 minutes.
