Eggless Lemon Cranberry Scones
For all those who have been reading my blog, you may have noticed my, I don't want to say unhealthy, obsession with Starbucks.
Well I went there the other day (wow. Surprise, surprise) and I got a lemon cranberry scone. I've got to say, I think I may have found one of my favorite combinations of ingredients.
So with this new taste in my mouth, I decided to try and recreate it. And I don't think I'll be returning to Starbucks.
Haha, what a lie, I mean I won't be returning to Starbucks for these scones. What when I can make them myself. Although, really, I can make coffee myself too, but it's just the CONVENIENCE.
Hm. Well the point is, these scones disappeared very quickly, and I will definitely be making these again!
Also, I just bought a microplane, and wanted to test it out. Verdict: Anyone who doesn't already have one, please. Go out and buy one. One of my best purchases this year!

these sound great! The vinegar is interesting. Could you sub buttermilk for the milk/vinegar combo?
Haha, yes, definitely! I just never have any buttermilk at my house, so I just use the milk/vinegar combo when I want it in one of my recipes
