Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Whisk cranberries, 1 cup buttermilk, and egg. Set aside for later.
Separately whisk flour, sugar, sesame seeds, baking powder, allspice, cardamom, and salt until fully incorporated.
Using a pastry cutter, cut butter into the flour mixture to pea-sized pieces. Add to the wet ingredients until a dough forms. If the dough is too crumbly to hold together, add more buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together when pressed.
Divide the dough amongst the wedges of a greased scone pan. Bake until edges are golden brown, 15-17 minutes.
Let scones sit for 5-10 minutes, then gently flip the pan to release the scones. Cool on wire rack before serving.
