Cinnamon Spiced Cranberry Scones

Scones

It’s no secret that we love scones here at Chef Shamy– we’ve made a lot of them over the years. But these Cinnamon Spiced Cranberry Scones are our absolute favorite!

They’re soft and moist, and full of holiday flavor. A sweet glaze on top takes them to the perfect sweetness. These are great to eat for breakfast, a snack, or a dessert! Scones are so versatile that way!

Cranberry

Cranberry is really a holiday flavor. Actually, I like cranberry all through the year, but it’s hard to find fresh berries anytime except during November and December.

So we thought we’d lean into it with this recipe and add some other classic holiday flavors: cinnamon and orange. The combination of all three flavor blend together to create mouthful of delicious-ness!

The cinnamon comes from Chef Shamy Cinnamon Honey Butter — butter is important to scone dough. Make sure you measure correctly!

The orange comes from a little fresh orange zest– and the cranberries go straight in, fresh! We halved them, just to make them more bite-sized.

Enjoy!
