This is my favorite scone recipe! These scones are not dry like other ones I've had. These will be gone as soon as they come out of the oven!

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
⅓ cup sweetened dried cranberries, chopped
⅓ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons apple jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Whisk flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cranberries and chocolate chips just until coated with flour.
  • Stir 1/2 cup buttermilk and egg together in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until flour is absorbed; don't overmix.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board. Dust your hands with flour and knead about 8 times. Pat into an 8-inch diameter circle. Brush with remaining buttermilk and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spacing scones about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until light brown on top, 20 to 22 minutes.
  • While the scones are baking, heat apple jelly in the microwave in 30-second increments until warm.
  • Remove scones from the oven and immediately brush tops with warmed apple jelly. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack for further cooling.
