Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons sugar plus 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon finely-grated lemon peel
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, diced
  • 1 cup dried sweetened cranberries
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup chilled half-and-half or more, divided
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Directions
  1. Position rack in top third of oven; preheat to 375 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in bowl for glaze.
  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, lemon peel, salt, and 1 cup sugar in large bowl. Add chilled butter; using fingertips, rub in until coarse meal forms. Mix in cranberries and walnuts. Add 1/2 cup half and half and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Toss with fork until dough comes together in moist clumps, adding more half and half if dough is dry.
  3. Gather dough into ball; divide in half. Press out each half on floured surface to 6-inch-diameter (1-inch-high) round. Cut each round into 6 wedges. Transfer to baking sheet; brush with glaze.
  4. Bake scones until golden and tester comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. I mix powdered sugar and cream together with a little lemon juice and drizzle over each scone!
  5. Yields 12 scones.
