Heavenly Cranberry Scones

As most of you know, I can't bake to save my life. But I was craving for scones... so I decided to make my own. LOL.

Anyway, I managed to get a recipe from the Steamy Kitchen website for blueberry scones. And because I didn't have all the recipes listed in the list, I improvised a little. Instead of using fresh blueberries, I substituted it with dried cranberries. Surprisingly, it turned out pretty well!

Golden and crunchy on the outside

Soft and fluffy on the inside

Yumssssss


For a first timer, I was pretty impressed with myself. LOL. I got to satisfy my cravings and my daughter got to enjoy some "healthier" homemade tea time snacks. 

So, here's my improvised recipe: 

3 cups of self raising flour
3 tablespoons of raw organic sugar
1/2 cup salted butter
1 cup sour cream
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup of dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 180C

Mix all dry ingredients together. Cut in softened butter. Gently fold in sour cream, plain greek yogurt, vanilla extract and dried cranberries. Work dough until all is ingredient is somewhat evenly mixed. Scoop dough (should be a little smaller than palm size) onto lightly greased cupcake/muffin pan and bake for 30 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
