Cranberry Scones Recipe

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In a large bowl stir together flour brown sugar baking powder nutmeg and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl toss cranberries with sugar; add to flour mixture along with orange peel and nuts. Mix lightly.

In another bowl beat together cream and egg; slowly pour into dry ingredients mixing with rubber scraper until dough forms. Knead dough 4 or 5 times being careful not to over handle. Divide dough in half. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Shape each half into a 6 inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Place scones on lightly greased baking sheets.
