Old Fashioned Cranberry Orange Scones

Ingredients

Makes 16 scones

• 3 cups Gluten free all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp Himalayan salt
• 4 tsp organic baking powder
• ½ tsp organic baking soda
• ¼ cup cold organic non salted butter
• 1 cup fresh or frozen organic cranberries
• 10 tbsp organic applesauce
• 250 grams of homemade plain yogourt
• Grated peel of 1 large organic orange

Directions 

• Preheat oven to 400⁰ F
• Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; mix well
• Cut in butter (pea sized) and continue to mix well
• Add cranberries
• In a smaller bowl, combine the applesauce, yogurt and orange peel
• Add ½ of the wet ingredients to the dry bowl ingredients and mix gently with your hands, do not knead
• Continue to add the remainder of the wet ingredients until all is completely mixed together
• Divide in half and use your hands to pat each half into a circle about 8 inches in diameter onto a greased baking sheet
• Cut each circle into 8 wedges
• Separate them on the baking sheet and bake for between 18-25 minutes or until browned
• Use the bake setting on your oven instead of the convection bake as that will dry them out too much
• Cool on rack and serve!

Enjoy!
