Cranberry Pine Nut Scones

2 cups Flour
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
2 tablespoons Sugar
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup Butter
1 Egg
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons Pine nuts
2 handfuls Dried cranberries

Preheat the oven to 400.

Put the pine nuts in a skillet over medium high heat. Toast until golden. Add the butter and heat just until melted.

Put the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, measure the milk, mix in the egg and melted butter/pine nuts. Stir until combined.

Stir the wet ingredients into the flour until just combined. Knead lightly with your hands a few times until the dough sticks together. (It’s not too messy, don’t worry).

Pat into a circle on an ungreased cookie sheet. The dough will be about 1.5 inches thick and the circle will be 7 or so inches in diameter.

Using a very sharp knife, cut into wedges. Distribute these wedges around the cookie sheet.

Bake for 13 minutes or until lightly golden.

These freeze well.
