Very easy to make and tasted great! I served them with Cranberry Apple Butter. I used a generous amount of flour when shaping them and they were soft and tender. They'd also be good with a powdered sugar glaze.

These were very tasty but needed a bit more flour than the recipe called for.

I made these for the office and everyone loved them. I also substituted white chocolate chips instead of walnuts, which won over more fans.

I made these for the office for the morning coffee/tea break for a scheduled meeting. It was huge success, although most prefered a smaller portion than the normally large sized scone.

I left out the walnuts becasue I don't like them. It needs more then just cranberries but this is a great base that you can add your own mix-ins to.

I made this recipe as a mother's day treat, and a treat it was. Light and fluffy scone with great taste. I added white chocolate chips and omitted nuts which was a great combination with cranberries. These did not last long and I can't wait to make them again!
