However, you can make the dough up to 3 days ahead of time at store it in the fridge. Bake the scones straight from the fridge the morning you want to serve them. This is perfect for Christmas morning; you can have the dough already made so all you need to do is bake the scones!
Oh,Faith,you were not exaggerating in the slightest! These flavours are absolutely perfect, and I was told to throw out my other scone recipes and use this base for other flavour combinations. Thanks so much for this. You will now be a part of my family every time I make scones. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all the best for 2023.

I made these vegan by replacing the half and half with coconut holiday nog and replacing the butter with Earth Balance plant based spread. I used Zulka Morena sugar ( non bone char processed). These turned out wonderful and delicious. I felt so damned christmasy.
My daughter-in-law made these scones last Christmas morning and they were, indeed, the best scones I have ever tasted! I would like to make them but have been unable to find unsweetened cranberries locally. Where do you buy them?
I make scones all the time and I love them. I usually make the dough ahead of time, cut them into triangles and wrap them individually and put them in the freezer. Then when I want a scone I take one out and bake it. Do you think I could do that with this recipe?
You are absolutely right about these scones, Faith. They are an explosion of Christmas in your mouth, and it has now become our Christmas morning tradition. Thanks for creating a new tradition in our family!! Merry Christmas! And happy new year to you and Mike!!
