- Stir the zest into the buttermilk, add it to the dry ingredients, and stir until the mixture is moistened.You may need to add a little more buttermilk. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured board and gently form into a round about 1 inch high. Cut the round into 8 wedges and place 1 inch apart on a baking sheet stacked on top of another sheet. (The double pan is necessary to keep the bottoms from browning too quickly.) Whisk the egg yolk and milk together and lightly brush the scones with the mixture. Sprinkle with the pecans. Bake until the scones are ligthly browned, about 20 minutes.
- VARIATION: Apricot-Walnut Scones: Chop 1/2 cup dried apricots into small pieces and use them in place of the currants. Plump the apricots in the orange juice and prepare the scones as directed, substituting walnuts for the pecans.

EASY CRANBERRY ORANGE PECAN SCONES
Yet another new scone recipe that I've come up with. We like these scones because they're hearty, healthy, tasty, and hold you to lunch! I hope you enjoy these as much as we do. These scones are not overly sweet, so if you like your scones sweet, you may wish to add more brown sugar.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line a 12 x 18" (30 x 45 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the butter, both flours, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda into the bowl of a food processor (or use a pastry blender). Process until the mixture is very fine. Transfer to a large bowl and add the pecans and dates. Pour the cream and vanilla over the top. Mix with a fork until a crumbly dough forms.
- Turn onto a work surface. Press the mixture together very lightly - it should be fairly dry. Cut into twelve 2 1/2" rounds (7 cm) or eighteen 1 1/2" rounds (4 cm). Place on the prepared pan. Brush with cream and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden. Serve warm. Best served the day they are made.
