Leftover Cranberry Sauce Scones
Serves 6 to 8
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in cubes
½ cup half-and-half
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
½ cup cranberry sauce
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add orange zest. Crumble the butter into the flour mixture using your hands. It should resemble a coarse meal.
In a small bowl, whisk the half-and-half, sugar and the egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just to combine until a dough forms. Gently knead it a few times, don’t over work the dough. Add the cranberry sauce and swirl thru the dough. Turn dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Using a sharp knife cut into 8 wedges. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake for 10-15 minute or until golden. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
