Preparation

Step 1

Use a medium-size mixing bowl to combine the flour, sugar, cream of tartar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir them all up together. Cut in the salted butter just as you would for piecrust dough.
Stir in the beaten eggs and the unflavored yogurt. Then add the cranberries and mix everything together.
Add the milk and stir until it is combined.
Drop the scones by soup spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet, 12 large scones to a sheet. You can also drop these scones on a parchment paper if you prefer.
Once the scones are on the baking sheet, you can wet your fingers and shape them into more perfect rounds.
Bake the scones at 425 degrees F. for 12-14 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Cool the scones for at least five minutes on the cookie sheet, and then remove them with the spatula. Serve them in a towel lined basket so they stay warm.
