Whole wheat Cranberry Orange Scones with Dulce de leche coffee recipe

When u have a lot of tangy cranberries and sweet oranges at home think of some whole wheat scones and enjoy them with a nice dulce de luche coffee :)

The cranberries I have at home was super tangy, some may like it but my family kept ignoring those. Finally thought of baking scones with those, also had some sweet oranges handy at home.

Came across this recipe from taste of home, while browsing the internet and used organic whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and baked it. 

The recipe is as follows

Ingredients

·         2 cups whole wheat flour

·         10 teaspoons sugar, divided

·         1 tablespoon grated orange peel

·         2 teaspoons baking powder

·         1/2 teaspoon salt

·         1/4 teaspoon baking soda

·         1/3 cup cold butter

·         1 cup dried cranberries

·         1/4 cup orange juice

·         1/4 cup half-and-half cream

·         1 egg

·         1 tablespoon milk

Method

1.       In a large bowl, combine the flour, 7 teaspoons sugar, orange peel, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.

2.      In a small bowl, combine the cranberries, orange juice, cream and egg. Add to flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.

3.      Gently knead the dough for minute and pat dough into a circle. Cut into 10 wedges. Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet, alternately on a silicon sheet. Brush with milk; sprinkle with remaining sugar.

4.      Bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack.
