These cranberry scones have a delightful texture and crunch thanks to the addition of sesame seeds in the batter. The best part? You can eat them all week! Get that just-baked freshness when you cut the scone in half, re-heat it in a toaster oven, and serve with butter and jam.

Ingredients

1 cup dried cranberries
1 ½ cups buttermilk
1 large egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup turbinado sugar
6 tablespoons white sesame seeds
4 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon allspice, ground
¼ teaspoon cardamom, ground
¼ teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cubed, plus more for greasing

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Whisk cranberries, 1 cup buttermilk, and egg. Set aside for later.
Separately whisk flour, sugar, sesame seeds, baking powder, allspice, cardamom, and salt until fully incorporated.
Using a pastry cutter, cut butter into the flour mixture to pea-sized pieces. Add to the wet ingredients until a dough forms. If the dough is too crumbly to hold together, add more buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together when pressed.
Divide the dough amongst the wedges of a greased scone pan. Bake until edges are golden brown, 15-17 minutes.
Let scones sit for 5-10 minutes, then gently flip the pan to release the scones. Cool on wire rack before serving.
