Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the dried cranberries and chopped pistachios.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
  7. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  8. Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
