Scones Anyone?

This was my first attempt at making scones and I was delighted that they actually turned out. I used an orange recipe, but altered it a bit with cranberries. Here is the recipe below...

Double Orange Scones with Cranberries

2 cups flour

3 tablespoons sugar

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons grated orange peel

3/4 cup cranberries

1/3 cup margarine or butter

1/2 cup chopped canned mandarine orange segments, drained

1/4 to 1/3 cup milk

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 tablespoon sugar

Heat oven to 400F. Lightly grease cookie sheet. In a large bowl, combine flour, 3 tablesoons sugar, baking powder, cranberries, and orange peel. Using pastry blender or fork, cut margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add orange segments, milk and egg. With fork, stir until mixture leaves sides of bowl and soft dough forms.

On a floured surface, gently knead dough 10 times. Place on greased cookie sheet; roll or pat into a 6 inch circle. Sprinkle dough with 1 tablespoon sugar. Cut dough into 8 wedges; separate slightly.

Bake at 400 F for 15 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
