Easy, easy, easy, & very tasty, too! I enjoyed making these scones & although I did follow the ingredient list, I was generous with both measures of the nuts & the dried cranberries! Thanks much for sharing this recipe, something I plan on making several times again before the end of the year! [Made & reviewed in Newest Zaar tag]
