In a large bowl: combine the unsalted butter and sugar then beat.

Then add eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Add warm milk, vanilla extract and mix everything together until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder and salt then mix until smooth. 

Highly recommend that you sift the dry ingredients before mixing them into the wet ingredients. This will form a smoother batter and the cake will be very soft & fluffy.  

Add in fresh cranberries (using frozen cranberries: do not let them thaw. Mix them in while still frozen). 

Then gently fold the batter until the cranberries are evenly distributed throughout the batter (do not over mix or use a mixer for this step, be gentle use wooden spatula). Transfer the batter to the loaf pan. 

Bake for 40-50 minutes (it took me 45 min) or until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and rest the cake in the pan for 15 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a baking rack. Cool for 15 minutes at room temperature prior to serving.

Garnish with powdered sugar. Serve & enjoy!

          In a food processor: add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, baking soda, salt and blend everything together.

          Add cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and pulse (20-30 seconds) until crumbs form. Optional – use a pastry cutter, your fingers or a fork to blend the flour mixture and butter together for best results.

          Transfer the flour butter mixture to a large bowl. Add eggs, buttermilk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract & honey to the bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold everything, then use your hands to knead for several minutes until everything comes together nicely. Shape the dough into a round ball. It’s going to be very sticky.

          Coat the cutting board with 2-3 tsp of flour. Place the dough on the board. Use a dough roller or palm of your hand to flatten to about 1″ thick and an 8″ disc like shape. Use a knife or bench scraper to cut the disc into 8 triangles. Place scones on a baking sheet (with parchment paper).

          Brush the scones with 2 tbsp heavy cream. 

          Bake for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown. Let rest for 10 minutes before transferring to a baking rack.
