It’s so easy to get caught up in the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner menus but what about breakfast?

Lunch and dinner food on these holidays are obviously the main focus but breakfast can also feel special with very little effort. 

Because I am all about getting ready for the big feast, our traditional Thanksgiving breakfast is always simple – usually pastries and a big fruit salad. 

These scones are great because they are easy to prep a day ahead. Just keep the dough in the fridge overnight and pop the scones in the oven in the morning. Serve warm with butter or jam along with some fresh fruit and breakfast is done.

How to make Cranberry Scones:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Mix almond milk and lemon juice. Into a small bowl or measuring cup, add unsweetened almond milk and lemon juice. Stir to combine and set aside.

Combine dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. 

Cut in the butter. Using a pastry cutter or your very clean hands, add cold butter and combine until mixture is crumbly. 

Stir in the chopped cranberries. 

Stir in the almond milk/lemon juice mixture, just until moistened.

Form dough into a ball. Onto a floured surface, turn dough out then, with floured hands, work dough into a ball. 

Divide dough in half. Press each half into an 8-inch circle.

Cut each circle into 8 wedges. 

Prepare to bake. Onto parchment-lined baking sheets, arrange scones at least 1-inch apart.

Bake 16 minutes or until lightly golden.

Serve warm or room temperature.

 

Cheers!
