1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Honey Tips

How Honey is Made

To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.

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.
