Orange Cranberry Scones

I promised a more exciting scone... and I'm delivering!
Okay, seriously, these were delicious.  So make them.

Here's what you need:
2 not quite full cups of flour
1 1/2 T. baking powder
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 t. salt
5 T. butter, cut up
5 T. margarine, cut up
grated rind of 1 orange
1/3 c. craisins/dried cranberries
a little more than 1/2 c. buttermilk.

Preheat your oven to 425.  Grease/flour a large baking sheet.  Combine your dry ingredients in a large bowl and cut in with a pastry cutter until you have crumbs.
Add the orange rind and craisins.  Gradually stir in your buttermilk.
The mixture should be very moist and sticky.  It will be kind of hard to work with, but so worth it... your scones will be incredibly moist and tasty!
Roughly make triangles with the dough/batter on your cookie sheet and bake until the tops are hard, about 15-20 minutes.

Enjoy!!!
