Add the cranberries, white chocolate chips and pistachio’s and gently fold together, Mix just enough to incorporate.
Form the mixture into a ball and place on the parchment paper.
Use your hands to form the dough into a large circle and flatten about one inch thick.
Cut the scones into 8 pieces and separate on your baking sheet*
Brush the finished scones with a little cream or milk to get good color as they bake
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a deep golden brown in color. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
* by separating the scones into individual portions you get more crunchy exterior, which is the best part of the scone.
