These scones are a treat for the senses with their tender flaky texture, bright colors, plus the sweet and tart flavors of orange and cranberries and a hint of fragrant cardamom to bring it all together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is cardamom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cardamom is a wonderfully fragrant spice with hints of mint and citrus. I rarely cook with it, which is a shame because it is wonderful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is used often in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking as well as Scandinavia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don't use a lot in this recipe and you could definitely make these without it if you don't have any. But, I really enjoyed the extra layer of flavor it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should be able to find it in the spice aisle between the caraway seeds and cayenne pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for Making Scones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scones in general are simple to make. A few tips to keep them tender and flaky<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Keep your butter cold, some people recommend cutting it and then freezing it before making the recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Do not overmix the dough. Once it forms a dough and is evenly mixed, shape it and bake it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How to Make Lower Fat Scones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For a lower fat version, and because I rarely have heave cream, I replace the heavy cream with \u00bd cup yogurt and \u00bd cup milk and increase the butter to 6 tablespoons. It gives them a light tang, which works very well in this recipe and helps the baking powder give them scones a lift..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
