Honey Tips

Honey Flavors and Colors

Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°.
Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, mix together first 5 ingredients, until well combined. With two knives or a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cranberries.
In another bowl, blend together sour cream, honey and egg. Stir wet mixture into dry mixture to form soft dough.
On a lightly floured surface knead the dough about 10 times. Shape the dough into an 8-inch square. Cut into 4 squares and cut each square into 2 triangles. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Yield: 8 scones.
