SPARKLY CRANBERRY SCONES

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
½ cup butter, melted
½ cup milk
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons sparkling sugar*
Stir together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in cranberries. Whisk
together butter, ½ cup milk, and 1 egg; add to flour mixture, stirring just
until dry ingredients are moistened and dough forms. Drop dough by 1/3
cupfuls onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Whisk together remaining 1
egg and 1 tablespoon milk. Brush tops of dough with egg mixture, and
sprinkle evenly with sparkling sugar. Bake at 400º for 20 minutes or until
golden brown. *Granulated sugar may be substituted. Note: Purchase
sparkling sugar at crafts stores or supercenters with cake-decorating supplies.
Yield: Makes 9 scones.
