4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in any desired dried fruit (cranberries or blueberries).
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
8. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
10. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
