Time 40m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup plain yogurt (or vanilla or other flavored yogurt-orange would be good!)
1 egg
2 3/4 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup cranberries, halved (you can use craisins, do not chop them but real cranberries give more bite)
1/2 cup sugar
1 orange, rind of, grated
2 tablespoons melted butter (to garnish)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375*F.
  • Combine yogurt and egg in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in margarine until it looks like small peas.
  • Stir in cranberries (or craisins), sugar and orange rind.
  • Add yogurt/egg mix and stir to a soft dough. (it may seem a bit dry, but be careful about adding extra yogurt as it goes wet very easily).
  • Roll or pat on floured surface to 3/4 inch thick, and then cut in circles, place on parchment paper on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 15-20 minutes.
  • While still warm, brush tops with melted butter and dust with powdered sugar. Serve them with butter and jams on the side. Enjoy!
