Cranberry Scones

I'm back....and with house guests. Time to bake!
Let's start with something easy and quick for breakfast.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups of unbleached flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp white sugar (you can use more if you so desire but I like a scone I can spread with jam so I don't like it too 'cake like')
• 1 cup cranberries (really you can add any dry fruit here...don't overdo it though...currants, or small dried fruit like citrus peel etc. would be fine)
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt (I prefer buttermilk for this type of scone)

Preheat your oven to 375. Combine your dry ingredients. Do the usual cutting in of the butter or margarine until you end up with coarse crumbs. Add your dry fruit. Add two eggs to the buttermilk and beat lightly. Add to dry mixture and stir until just moistened. Turn out onto greased board. Knead only til the dough holds together. Make one or two circles 1/2 inch thick. Cut into wedges and put onto a lightly greased pan. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar or drizzle with a lemon icing glaze if so desired. Bake at 375 for 15 min.
