Cranberry-Chocolate Chip Scones with Apple Jelly Glaze

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

2 . Stage

Whisk flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cranberries and chocolate chips just until coated with flour.

3 . Stage

Stir 1/2 cup buttermilk and egg together in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until flour is absorbed; don't overmix.

4 . Stage

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board. Dust your hands with flour and knead about 8 times. Pat into an 8-inch diameter circle. Brush with remaining buttermilk and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spacing scones about 2 inches apart.

5 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until light brown on top, 20 to 22 minutes.

6 . Stage

While the scones are baking, heat apple jelly in the microwave in 30-second increments until warm.

7 . Stage

Remove scones from the oven and immediately brush tops with warmed apple jelly. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack for further cooling.
