ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sweet liqueur
1 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Soak cranberries in liqueur for 10 minutes to plump.

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut butter into flour with fingers, pastry blender or two knifes. Stir in milk and drained cranberries and mix in chocolate chips. Do not over mix.

On a floured board, pat out scone dough into an 8-inch circle. With a sharp, floured knife, cut into 8 wedges. Transfer wedges onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until edges turn golden brown.
