Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup unsweetened dried cranberries
• 0.75 cup heavy cream
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon liquid stevia

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the unsweetened dried cranberries, ensuring they're evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough; it should be slightly sticky and come together in a shaggy mass.

Step 7

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.

Step 8

Shape the dough into a ¾-inch thick disc, roughly 8 inches in diameter.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, cut the disc into 8 evenly sized wedges.

Step 10

Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve the scones warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your sugar-free cranberry scones with a cup of your favorite tea or coffee.
