Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup unsweetened dried cranberries
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon liquid stevia
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the unsweetened dried cranberries, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough; it should be slightly sticky and come together in a shaggy mass.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
Shape the dough into a ¾-inch thick disc, roughly 8 inches in diameter.
Using a sharp knife, cut the disc into 8 evenly sized wedges.
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the scones warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your sugar-free cranberry scones with a cup of your favorite tea or coffee.
