How to make it

1

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Combine pancake mix, sugar and orange rind in medium bowl. Add butter and cut into dry ingredients with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cranberries. Gradually add milk, tossing with a fork until evenly moistened.
2

Turn mixture onto a lightly floured work surface. Gently knead 10-12 times, just until dough holds together. Pat dough into a 9-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges and place scones 1-inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
3

Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Tips & Tricks

Try Blueberry Lemon Scones for a delicious change of pace. Substitute lemon rind for the orange rind and dried, unsweetened blueberries for the cranberries. Pearl Milling Company™ Original Complete Pancake and Waffle Mix may be substituted if desired.
