Scone
1 lb. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 ½ oz. sugar
1 tsp. salt
4 oz. butter, chilled
2 egg yolks
11 oz. half and half

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°. Assemble all ingredients needed for recipe. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Next, cut the butter into your dry mix leaving some noticeable small chucks no bigger than a pencil eraser. Mix the yolk into your half and half, then make a small well in the middle of your dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients, and then fold together. Do not over mix. Add chocolate, cranberry, and almonds; fold in once or twice. Put the dough onto a lined sheet pan and make slight cuts on the top so that it can easily be broken apart after baking. Put it in the oven for 35-40 minutes and remove from heat when golden brown around the edges.
