Fig and Cranberry Scones

Fig and Cranberry Scones are soft, buttery, and lightly sweet baked treats perfect for breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea. The natural sweetness of dried figs blends beautifully with the tangy flavor of cranberries, creating a delicious balance in every bite. These scones have a tender crumb with a golden crust and pair wonderfully with tea, coffee, or a light spread of butter or cream.

Cooking Method

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt evenly.
Add cold butter cubes and rub them into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in chopped dried figs and dried cranberries.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk and vanilla extract together. Gradually add this to the dry ingredients and mix gently to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round disc about 1-inch thick.
Cut into wedges or rounds and place them on the baking tray.
Brush the tops lightly with milk for a golden finish.
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the scones turn golden brown.
Cool slightly and serve warm.
