How to Make Cranberry Orange And Pistachio Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the zest of 1 orange.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup Splenda (or granulated sugar), and 1/2 cup milk. Add this to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries and 1/2 cup chopped pistachios.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it to a 3/4-inch thickness.
  7. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or knife to cut out scones.
  8. Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm with orange marmalade.
