From Murder on the Rocks by Karen MacInerney. If desired you can brush the scones with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking. Ingredients:

2/3 cup sugar |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |

1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup firm butter, cut in small pieces |
3/4 cup cranberries, chopped if desired |
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped |
1 teaspoon grated orange rind |
1 cup buttermilk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt with a fork.
2. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
3. Stir in cranberries, walnuts, and orange peel.
4. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the buttermilk.
5. Stir the mixture with a fork until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
6. With your hands, gather the dough into a ball and turn out onto a lightly floured board.
