Cranberry Buttermilk Scones

I have been looking for a good scone recipe for a LONG time! I used to eat a scone every morning when I worked at the school, until the place closed. My Aunt Vonnie and I happened to be talking about scones one day and she mentioned that she had a really good recipe. Well, I finally got it from her! I revamped it a little so that I can actually have one and not use all my points (Yes, WW points).

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 1/2 c. Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 1/2 c. White Flour
  • 20 Splenda Packets
  • 1/8 c. Sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 3/4 c. Cold Butter/Margarine
  • 1 c. Buttermilk (I used 1TBS of Vinegar and the remaining of FF Milk)
  • 1 c. Dried Cranberries
  • 1 tsp Grated Orange Peel (I used more, just cause I like it)
  • 1 TBS Milk
  • Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkle

In a bowl, combine the flour, splenda & sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda; cut in butter. Stir in buttermilk just until combined. Fold in the cranberries and orange peel. Turn onto a floured surface; divide dough in half. Shape each portion into a ball and pat into a 6-in circle. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Place on stone. Brush with milk & sprinkle with cinnamon sprinkle. Bake at 400* for 20 min.

I calculated one of these to be 3 points. I'm sure if I used a lower fat margarine, it would be even less.
