lightbulb_outline Tips
- If you don't have frozen cranberries, you can use fresh cranberries instead. Just make sure to chop them into smaller pieces.
- For an extra burst of orange flavor, you can add a tablespoon of fresh orange juice to the dough.
- Serve these scones with clotted cream or your favorite jam for a traditional British treat.
- To make the scones ahead of time, you can freeze the unbaked wedges. When ready to bake, simply place them on a baking sheet and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Feel free to customize these scones by adding your favorite nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the dough.
