Red, White and Blueberry Scones

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. With 2 knives, cut in butter until reduced to coarse crumbs.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine cranberries, blueberries, zest and 1/3 cup sugar and mix well. Stir into flour mixture.

Step 3

In another bowl combine milk and egg, then stir into large bowl and mix just until blended. Add walnuts and mix.

Step 4

Mix well with hands. If too sticky, add flour small amounts at a time. Dollop onto parchment-lined baking sheet (easy clean up!) creating 12 mounds.

Step 5

Bake 25 minutes/until golden brown. Serve with butter if desired. Serve in small, cast iron pans for a cute little skillet scone!

For our high altitude friends, there is no adjustment necessary with ingredients or baking time!
