Cranberry Jalapeno Drop Scones

Cranberry Jalapeno Drop Scones

In my mind, it’s perfectly acceptable to combine cranberries and lemon, but cranberries and strawberries must never mix.

Cranberries and apples? Anytime.

Cranberries and blueberries? Absolutely not.

For some reason my mind has developed a complex Venn diagram around cranberries. Fortunately, there is overlap with jalapenos and lime.

Cranberry Jalapeno Drop Scones are the savory result.

You can plop the batter onto your baking sheet, or spoon it on carefully – either way there’s less fuss than with rolled biscuits.

These scones are great beside soup or a salad, and some of your people may even like them on their own for breakfast.

(And if you are wondering about the difference between scones and biscuits, I don’t have the answer. And I’m not sure that anyone who does is telling the truth.)

Drop scone batter is less firm than a rolled biscuit dough, and is just spooned directly on to the baking sheet.
