Tender and flavorful! Fresh cranberries really pop - they are encased in a slightly sweet, buttery, flaky scone matrix, with a large dose of lemon zest.
I replaced the 1C heavy cream with 1/2 C heavy cream + 1/2 C non-fat milk. I also used my microplane to zest the lemons (2 standard, not meyer). Otherwise I stuck to the scone recipe carefully.
The dough was really wet. I was so tempted to work a bit more flour into it, but I resisted. Because they are so wet, after cutting the shape, they slumped into a fairly random shape. However, they baked up beautifully! I baked them for 15 minutes (recipe says 15-20).
I wish there were a low fat version of this recipe. It tastes so good!
