1/2 cup sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup butter, very cold |
1/2 cup minus 2 tablespoons buttermilk |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped |
1 cup dried cranberries, chopped |
Directions:

2. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse pebbles.
3. Beat together egg, vanilla, and buttermilk, then add to dry ingredients and mix briefly (do not overmix dough).
4. Add walnuts and dried cranberries then mix briefly.
5. Turn dough out on well-floured cutting board. Knead briefly, working in enough flour to make a stiff dough.
