Spelled shortbreads with cranberry icing - Cranberry Scones

Scones are popular shortbread rolls in the UK. They are served with afternoon tea or for breakfast. Scones can be prepared without sweet additions, then we serve them cut in half and spread with jam. Those with the addition of fruit and icing are a complete dessert.

In the recipe for "cranberry scones" I smuggled the cranberries twice, added the dried one inside, and the freeze-dried powder into the icing. The recipe is very quick and easy to prepare.

We lubricate egg yolk and bake in an oven preheated to 220 ° C for about 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown.
