How to Make Dried Cranberry Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the dried cranberries and sugar.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg.
  6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
  8. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut out more biscuits.
  9. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or jam!
