Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 220C/ 200C fan /428F/Gas mark 7, putting a baking tray in the oven to preheat.
2. Sieve the flour, salt, baking powder into a large bowl, mix in the ground almonds. Add the butter and rub it in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, use a food processor and mix until the butter has disappeared.
3. Mix in the sugar, granola and cranberries. Add the lemon juice to the milk and then add this and the honey to the flour mixture. Stir quickly with a knife and then use your hands to make a dough ball. Scatter a little flour over a work surface and shape the dough with your hands or a rolling pin leaving it 2.5cm/1” thick. To make triangular scones, make a circle with the dough and cut it into 1/8th like a cake. Or use a floured 5cm/2” wide smooth cutter to cut out circular scones.   Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg and then finish with demerara sugar.
4. Place the dough scones directly on the preheated baking tray and immediately return to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes until a skewer comes out clean. Leave for a few minutes on the baking tray before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve while still a little warm.
