1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup hard margarine or 1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup milk

Directions:

Toss cranberries, gumdrops and first 1 tablespoons flour together in small bowl until cranberries and gumdrops are coated. Set aside.
Cream margarine and sugar together in large bowl. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in flavouring and lemon rind.
Combine next 4 ingredients in separate large bowl. Add to margarine mixture. Stir until just moistened. Batter will be very thick.
