Save Recipe: Cranberry Orange Scones
If you're nuts over candied nuts then you'll have to check out these scrumptious cranberry orange scones. Scones are the perfect start to the day, or even better, a delightful mid-day retreat with a hot cup of tea. The secret ingredient in these scones is a mixture of walnuts, almonds and pecans with dried cranberries in a delicate orange confection called NUTORIOUS® Cranberry Orange. Yummy! NUTORIOUS® CRANBERRY ORANGE SCONES Yield: 2 dozen scones 4 c All Purpose Flour 1 c Sugar 2 T Baking Powder 2 t Ground Cinnamon 1/2 t Ground Nutmeg 1/2 c Butter, softened 2 c NUTORIOUS® Cranberry Orange 1 c Milk 4 Eggs Preheat oven to 400. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Add butter. Mix with an electric mixer on low until it resembles coarse crumbs, about 2 minutes.
