Cranberry & Orange Scones
This is one of my favorite variations of scone recipes. You can use lemon instead of orange and it will taste great.
You can use 2 cups of flour instead of bran. Or use 1/2 all-purpose flour and 1/2 whole wheat flour. Or use only all-purpose flour too! The dough is really sticky, so when lining the dough on the baking pan, use a cake server. For 8 scones. Recipe by aquariusmoon

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the butter into 1cm cubes and chill in freezer. Preheat the oven to 175°C/350°F. Put the ingredients from all-purpose flour to the salt and grated orange zest into a large bowl and mix together.
- 2
Add the chilled butter and cut with a pastry blender or 2 knives (like making a bread dough) Then add the dried cranberry and mix evenly. Add chocolate here, too.
- 3
Mix the baking soda and sour cream in another bowl. The mixture of baking soda and acid is what makes the dough plump up. Then add the egg and vanilla extract.
- 4
Pour 3 into 2's bowl. Mix the mixture with a fork evenly. You may feel it is not moist enough in the beginning, but do not worry. When it comes together, push the dough at the edge of bowl several times to knead lightly. Then make the dough into a ball.
- 5
Put the dough on a cutting board lined with parchment paper. Spread it into a 20cm diameter, 2cm thick disk. When nice and round, cut into 8 pieces like a pizza. You can make your favorite shapes or pieces.
- 6
Line a baking pan with parchment paper, and place the rolls on it with plenty of space in between. Sprinkle with granulated sugar if you want. Bake for 15-17 minutes in the preheated oven. When the bottom of scones are browned, they're done.
- 7
Bran is very light and seems like it can float in the air, very similar to wheat germ. It's full of fiber!
- 8
In step 2, cut the butter until crumbly. It takes time, but this is the trick to making crispy scones. It takes 20 minutes for me.
- 9
I used frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are sour, so sprinkle on a large amount of sugar and put in lots of white chocolate.

Blueberry Scones Blueberry Scones
The secret to this recipe is to keep everything as cold as possible right up until it goes in the oven and to make the dough just wet enough to hold its shape. The butter needs to remain frozen through the entire process.If it starts to flatten out in the oven, you can pull them out and quickly shape them up with a spatula and put them back in.

Berry Scones Berry Scones
This is my base recipe for scones. You can mix in whatever berries you want and there is a lot of room for trying out new things. There are a couple keys steps. First is to use frozen grated butter. The second is to use frozen berries or mix ins. Keeping your dough cold is important as it will stop over spreading during baking and give you amazing flakey scones.
