About

Scones are easy to make and are the right cross between muffins and biscotti. Scones are not too soft, too hard, too sweet, or too savory. They have just the right amount of buttery flavor and work great with all kinds of add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, and, our favorite, cranberries.

If all this isn’t enough reason to love scones, there’s another reason. Scones pair perfectly with Epicurean sweet flavored butters.

Whether you make a batch of scones for brunch guests, breakfast in bed for mom, or just an ordinary treat, we highly recommend this recipe, especially if you top it with Epicurean Butter Maple Syrup Flavored Butter.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in large mixing bowl. Using a cheese grater or knife, cut in butter and stir until mixture appears evenly lumpy (careful not to overmix).
Combine milk, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl then pour over flour mixture. Stir 8-10 times until mixture is mostly moist. Fold in cranberries.
Sprinkle flour on cutting board and form scone mixture into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into triangles and move to greased sheet pan.
Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Move to cooling rack and serve right away.
Top each scone with 1 tablespoon Epicurean Butter Maple Syrup Flavored Butter.
