Lemon and cranberry scones

Freshly baked scones and a hot cup of tea are my idea of ​​the perfect cozy Sunday morning. If you're a scone lover like me, you can enjoy these blueberry scones and chocolate chip scones too!

These scones are great straight out of the oven, the lemon peel and icing are a must here! If you don't want to buy buttermilk, you can use the powdered buttermilk that will last a long time in the pantry. Just follow the instructions for making buttermilk so you have the right amount of liquid for this recipe.

With perfect scones, be careful not to knead the batter too much and make sure your butter is chilled. Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers for up to two days. I've tried using whole wheat flour, but I prefer a mixture of whole wheat flour and white for better texture.

How to freeze scones

You can freeze scones either before or after baking. If you'd rather bake the scones first, allow them to cool completely and place them in a resealable bag or airtight container before freezing them for up to 1 month. Thaw for 1 hour at room temperature, then heat the thawed scones in an oven preheated to 300F for 5 to 10 minutes.

To freeze the scones before baking, cut out the scones and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the scones on the sheet until they are firm, transfer them to resealable bags or airtight containers, and freeze them for up to 3 months. Bake the scones straight from the freezer as directed in the recipe, but allow an additional 2 to 5 minutes of baking time.
