I wanted to bake scones to celebrate April 6, Tartan Plaid Day. I thought I had a box of scone mix in the pantry, but No! So I whipped these up from scratch that morning to take to work. I baked them in a mini-scone pan by Nordic Ware, but a muffin pan or cookie sheet will also work. The orange rind and cranberries were a hit combination.
