Cranberry Scones

The hotel that I worked with over my last project in KK, did not serve any good desserts, it was very disappointing!  When I was home for a week break from the project, I craved for something sweet, so this was what I gotta for myself.

I adapted the recipe from Joy of Baking, but altered it to what I had left in pantry.

Ingredients


120g flour
10g wheat bran
30g instant oat
60g sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
80g cold butter
100g dried cranberries
160ml milk

I used all the flour I had on hand but it was not enough as per the recipe, I dug the wheat bran I left in the fridge, hm... still not enough, what else can I put in... instant oat, this should be good to go in.  Now, I gotta my own recipe :)

Love the fluffiness of the scones, love it with butter and jam, yam....  Having 2 of the scones with a mug of coffee, made me full, satisfied and happy for the whole morning.
