For all those who have been reading my blog, you may have noticed my, I don’t want to say unhealthy, obsession with Starbucks.
Well I went there the other day (wow. Surprise, surprise) and I got a lemon cranberry scone. I’ve got to say, I think I may have found one of my favorite combinations of ingredients.
So with this new taste in my mouth, I decided to try and recreate it. And I don’t think I’ll be returning to Starbucks.
Haha, what a lie, I mean I won’t be returning to Starbucks for these scones. What when I can make them myself. Although, really, I can make coffee myself too, but it’s just the CONVENIENCE.
Hm. Well the point is, these scones disappeared very quickly, and I will definitely be making these again!
Also, I just bought a microplane, and wanted to test it out. Verdict: Anyone who doesn’t already have one, please. Go out and buy one. One of my best purchases this year!

Scones are my favorite! I love the flavor combo in this particular one… you definitely don't need to get Starbucks scones when you have these… I like Starbucks coffee but don't particularly like their scones. Yay to the Microplane purchase! It is one of my favorite, most used, and most treasured kitchen gadgets!
These scones look like a perfect wake up 😀
Stunning job my friend!
Cheers

Lemon and cranberry does sound delicious! Thank you for sharing with me…and thank you for making me hungry! Just in time for lunch. I hope you have a wonderful week!
these sound great! The vinegar is interesting. Could you sub buttermilk for the milk/vinegar combo?
Haha, yes, definitely! I just never have any buttermilk at my house, so I just use the milk/vinegar combo when I want it in one of my recipes

Thanks so much!!
Really nice scones! I love the little pockets of tart cranberries and subtle flavour of lemon too! Really easy to make and I love how buttery and fakey these are (in my opinion, much better than scones made with eggs).
That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
Gorgeous flavour combination and really great to be able to make light and fluffy scones without egg as I’m vegan – thanks so much!
Yay! So glad it worked out for you 🙂
Amazing scones! I’m all about lemon anything. They go wonderfully with the cranberries!
Same here! I love all things lemon 😉
