1. Preheat oven to 400 F.

2. In a large bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. Then add in your diced butter and combine using a fork or pastry cutter until dough clumps into pieces no larger than pea size. Once butter is incorporated, mix in your egg and milk until combined, but do not over mix. Then gently fold in your cranberries and almonds.

2. On a floured surface, form your dough into a 9 inch disk. I suggest forming it into a ball and then patting the dough flat. Cut the dough into six even pieces like a pizza or pie using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.

3. Separate your pieces and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

4. Enjoy warm, topped with sweet orange glaze and your beverage of choice.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
