“This is my own version of cranberry scones with lots of orange zest.
I like my scones the American way, sweet and soft. Europeans prefer a drier and less sweet scone. This is soft and yummy bursting with plenty of real cranberries.
A very nice scone for the fall holidays. Great served warm or cold. Enjoy!”
