Ingredients

Scones

  • 3 cups Gold Medal™ self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, halved
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup buttermilk

Orange Butter

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange peel

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Grease large cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. In large bowl, stir together flour, granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon orange peel. Cut in 1/2 cup butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cranberries.

    In 1-cup measuring cup, beat egg well. Add buttermilk to make 2/3 cup. Add to flour mixture; stir gently with fork until dry particles begin to cling together. (Do not add more liquid. Mixture may be crumbly.)
  • 3
    On lightly floured surface, gently press dough together to form ball. Divide dough in half. Place both halves on cookie sheet; flatten each into 6-inch round. With floured knife or pizza cutter, cut each into 8 wedges. Separate wedges slightly, about 1/2 inch apart.

    Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet 5 minutes.
  • 5
    Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix orange butter ingredients until well blended. Serve warm scones with orange butter.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    No buttermilk? Just use 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to make 1/3 to 1/2 cup.
