Ingredients

Scones

2 cups Total® Cranberry Crunch or Basic 4™ cereal
1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup firm butter or margarine
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1 egg, slightly beaten, or 1/4 cup fat-free egg product
1/4 cup orange low-fat yogurt

Glaze

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 to 3 teaspoons orange juice

Directions

1

Heat oven to 400°F. Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag or between sheets of waxed paper; slightly crush with rolling pin; set aside.
2

In medium bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, orange peel and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions) until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in cereal, cranberries, egg and yogurt until soft dough forms.
3

On lightly floured surface, gently roll dough in flour to coat; shape into ball. With floured hands, pat dough into 8-inch circle; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Cut circle into 12 wedges with sharp knife dipped in flour; do not separate.
4

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool 5 minutes; cut wedges to separate.
5

In small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until blended; drizzle over scones. After glaze is set, store tightly covered.
