Washington State produces large numbers of cranberries. This delicious recipe featuring them is from the Inn at Barnum Point, Camano Island, Washington.

8 -16 scones (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
6 tablespoons half-and-half
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries or dried cranberries (craisins)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (or pieces)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2
In a bowl by hand or using an electric mixer, blend together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter.
3
Add the half and half, beaten egg, cranberries (I like the dried ones), and the white chocolate chips, and stir until the dough holds together.
4
Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead for 2 minutes.
5
Form into a 1/2-inch thick round, then cut the round into 8 wedges (you can also make two smaller rounds of smaller wedges, if you like).
6
Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil, then transfer the wedges to the sheet.
7
Bake the scones at 400 degrees F for 14 minutes or until golden brown.

Had strawberries lying around so I subbed those for the cranberries. Delicious! Only trouble was that my addition of strawberries made the dough too sticky to make attractive scones with, so they weren't incredibly beautiful. But that was my fault! Didn't seem to keep people from eating them, though. Made them yesterday and they're gone already I guess I'll have to make a double batch next time!

First time I have ever made scones and these were oh so easy and absolutely WONDERFUL!!! Very quick to make as well. I did beat one egg and brush on top of scones and then sprinkle with a bit of sugar before baking. Tasty!!

These are amazing! They are light and flaky but still very scone like. I made two rounds and cut them in 6 wedges each and I thought they were the perfect size. Not huge like the coffee shop scones, but big enough to be satisfying. These were very easy too! Thank you so much!

Very good recipe, easy to make. Very moist, not dry like many scones. Also very light. I've made them several times, and will make them many more. Thanks!
