Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease a cookie sheet to prevent the scones from sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the butter until you achieve fine crumbs. Using a food processor makes this step a breeze.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the cranberries and raisins for a burst of fruity flavor.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the milk and egg using a fork until well combined.
- Add the milk and egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until everything is moistened.
- Drop the dough by 12 heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are about 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle the tops of the scones with the remaining tablespoon of sugar for a sweet, crunchy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 13 minutes or until the scones turn a lovely golden brown color.
- Once baked, transfer the scones to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
