On Saturday my daughter and I went to visit Cousin Marlene in Eaton, Ohio. I always enjoy going over to her place and visiting we always have a good visit and something good to eat. It just seems that we don’t get to visit as much as we used to, life just keeps everyone so busy these days. The house smelt so wonderful when we went in I had to go straight to the kitchen, sure enough she had been busy, busy, busy. The Scones that she made were absolutely delicious. I ask her if she would mind if I shared the recipe with you all and she was happy to. I hope you all enjoy these as much as we did.

CRAMBERRY SCONES

3 & ¼ cups flour

4 teaspoons cream of tartar

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons butter, chilled

1 cup dried cranberries

3 tablespoons sugar

1 cup milk



Mix flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles course meal. Add dried cranberries and sugar. Then mix in enough milk to make a soft dough. Put dough on a floured surface and kneed gently, just until the dough holds together. Pat out to a ½ inch thick. Cut out with cookie cutters or the rim a juice glass. Arrange on a floured baking sheet and dust tops with flour. Bake in a preheated oven at 425 degrees for about 10 minutes. Serve hot. ENJOY!!!
