Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup oatmeal ( we did not use the quick one)
6 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup buttermilk

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the dough is crumbly.
Fold in the cranberries we also like other dried fruits such as chopped apricots etc. Add the buttermilk and stir lightly with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together to form a ball, (The dough will be sticky, but they warn not too over work dough)
On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough into a large circle about 2 inches thick. Cut the dough into wedges.
With a spatula, transfer the wedges to a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake for 22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
Cool on a wire rack.
Best served warm and on the day they are made.
