I soaked my cranberries in orange juice to plump them up before adding to the batter, then used the orange juice left from the soaking to combine with confectioners sugar for a drizzle. Followed Paul Hollywood\u2019s method and used the dough hook on mixer with great results.","CommentId":4,"DateRated":"09\/29\/2018 11:30","GUID":"b0930977ab304571acfc59b918b4bca6","MemberId":9518171,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"kswl","SubmittedDate":"09\/29\/2018 11:30"},{"Comment":"
These are really good. Because I have arthritis in my hands that restricts what I can do I blended dry ingredients & butter in food processor (just a few pulses did it). They came out great the first time.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"04\/14\/2018 20:51","GUID":"46B31D523F534FAABBFC16D82194C70E","MemberId":2565047,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sjpoor","SubmittedDate":"04\/14\/2018 20:51"},{"Comment":"
These were fast to make and delicious to eat! I threw a batch together to take to my mother for Mother's Day. I made no modifications. They were a big hit. Will definitely make again and try out substitutes for the orange and cranberry.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"05\/09\/2016 15:02","GUID":"e844bfbdd4564a3587c44b8f8e0db332","MemberId":8242616,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"apsimon23","SubmittedDate":"05\/09\/2016 15:02"},{"Comment":"

I've made these many, many times. My family loves them! Excellent if you follow the recipe however my family likes them even more with an orange glaze instead of the cinnamon and sugar (1 cup confectioner sugar, 1\/2 tsp. vanilla, orange zest, orange juice to the consistency you want and drizzle over the warm scones). I've also made this recipe substituting blueberries and lemon zest for the cranberries and orange zest. Excellent! Easy! Love 'em! Thank you so much for this recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"02\/15\/2015 14:47","GUID":"5020a3dd3d594ac492868d554ec12870","MemberId":3316585,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"marthaandmary","SubmittedDate":"02\/15\/2015 14:47"},{"Comment":"

Best and easiest recipe! I had to substitute 1\/4 cup butter with whipping cream, and added some vanilla Essenes as well as cardamom. Instead of orange I used lemon. These are absolutely fantastic!

Can someone please tell me what I did wrong? The batter was so sticky and loose I couldn't do anything with it, and had to throw the whole batch away.
