We have been on a little bit of a scone kick lately. We always buy them at the grocery store cause they look sooooo good. That's fine and all, but I wanted to find a good recipe and try to make my own. I found the perfect looking one: Simple Scones. It's all in the name right?
I read through the comments to see if this was the recipe I wanted to use. I always start at the negative ones and read the problems that people had with the recipe. Then I go to the positive ones. There were a couple negative comments that the scones were too dry, but there were positive ones saying they were very moist. I figure those cancel each other out. It was probably the way the people followed the recipe anyway. So it was in the comments that I found some extras that people had tried. There was this very yummy sounding glaze:
Orange Glaze
1 cup Confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon almond extract
Mix confectioner's sugar with orange juice until desired glaze consistancy.

These were very good. I got very good feedback from everyone that tried them. The dough was a little crumbly and a little hard to work with, but it was well worth the "trouble". Next time, I will soak the cranberries, to make them softer, and I will probably skip the glaze (VERY good, but it didn't really need it).
