Instructions

  • Warm up the buttermilk in the microwave for a few seconds. Once it is warm add one of the tea bags to it and let it steep for a few minutes. The longer the better.

  • Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in the cranberries.
  • Add the buttermilk all at once, stirring with a fork to make a soft, sticky dough.
  • With lightly floured hands, press the dough into a ball.
  • On a lightly floured surface, knead gently 10 times.
  • Pat out the dough into a 3/4-inch thick round.
  • Using a 2 1/2-inch floured cutter, cut-out rounds or triangles, I use a small round cookie cutter.
  • Place on an un-greased baking sheet.
  • Gather up the scraps and repeat dough once; cut out more rounds.
  • Bake in a 400-degree F oven for 10 to 13 minutes or until golden.
  • Once they have cooled mix the glaze ingredients together and drizzle over top.
