Combine first 6 ingredients; cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Add buttermilk and dried cranberries, stirring just until moistened.

We love this recipe on special holiday mornings. We are enjoying these scones with orange juice while watching the Rose Parade today!

I have been making these scones since this issue came out 17 years ago! They are FANTASTIC! better than any scones you'll buy in a bakery. The great thing about them, is that you can do lots of variations. I actually love to make it with fresh blueberries (i generally add more than the 1 cup that it calls for...about 1.5 to 2). I also like to separate the dough in to 2 rounds, and then cut in to 8 for a total of 16 scones. I feel like the smaller scones lend themselves better to a brunch, since there's normally so much other food. Enjoy!
