FOR THE SCONES 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. 3. Add in the butter and cut it up with a pastry blender until you the mixture resembles a coarse crumble. 4. Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, milk and dried cranberries until the mixture forms into a dough. It's okay if the dough is a bit crumbly. But if you feel you need more milk or flour, add in a little bit at a time. 5. When dough is formed into a ball, place it onto a floured surface and pat it into a circle (1-2 inches thick) making sure to get every little crumb of dough. 6. Using a long knife, cut the dough like a piece of pie into 12 wedges and place the wedges on a greased baking sheet. 7. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Serve warm with a cup of tea - but if you plan to glaze the scones, let them cool on a wire rack first.
FOR THE GLAZE 1. Mix together all of the glaze ingredients (if you just want a vanilla icing, don't mix in the matcha) until the glaze is smooth. 2. When the cranberry scones are cooled off, use a spoon to drizzle the glaze on the top of the scones. Let the glaze set for about 20 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
You can omit the glaze all together if you'd like. These quick and easy cranberry scones are just as delicious without extra sweetness on top!
