- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened, full fat) (shake the can well before opening and pour out 1 cup)

- 1/2 tsp cardamon
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

Instructions

- Fold in the cranberries and then form a ball
- Pat the ball into a disk and refrigerate for 20 minutes
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Turn the dough onto a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper
- Cut the dough into 6 wedges (ideally, they'll be the same size; if you're like me, they'll be almost ... but not quite ... the same size)
- Separate the wedges a little so they don't touch
- Slowly sprinkle large sugar crystals on top
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes; let cool ... and enjoy!
Notes
Cranberries are seasonally available. If you love this recipe, I suggest buying some extra during the holiday season and freezing the cranberries so you can make these scones anytime.
