    Cranberry Buttermilk Scones are the perfect addition to your Christmas Tea or Christmas brunch. They are so festive with the addition of dried cranberries (we used cran-raisins). You could serve these with clotted cream or lemon curd for the perfect topping!

    These Cranberry Buttermilk Scones are delicious and perfect for a Christmas tea!

    You could serve these scones in place of biscuits.  They are a little sweet, but I am sure that all of your guests would enjoy them!  We recently served these Cranberry Buttermilk Scones at our Christmas Tea.  Everyone loved them.

      Scones are one of my favorite things to bake -- and eat. These would be delicious for breakfast with a big cup of your favorite coffee.

      I am hydrating my dried cranberries with rum. Would there be any modifications to the recipe if the cranberries are not dry?

        I might go with a little less liquid to compensate.
