Mix together flour, almonds, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt and baking powder in a bowl.

2.
Cranberry Scones preparation step 2

Cut softened butter into pieces, add to flour mixture and quickly rub everything with your hands to combine or process with the dough hook of a hand mixer.

3.
Cranberry Scones preparation step 3

Add cranberries and milk to flour mixture and knead as quickly as possible (longer kneading results in tough dough). Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

4.
Cranberry Scones preparation step 4

Dust work surface with flour and roll out the dough to about 1.5 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) thick.

5.
Cranberry Scones preparation step 5

Dip a tart ring or biscuit cutter (5 cm or approximately 2 inches in diameter) in flour and cut out rounds from dough.

6.
Cranberry Scones preparation step 6

Gather together scraps, roll out again and cut out more rounds (for a total of at least 12). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and put rounds on sheet. 

7.

Separate the egg. Whisk the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl, brush egg wash over dough rounds and refrigerate again for 30 minutes. (Reserve egg whites for another use.)

8.

The Native Americans used the "cranberry" as a remedy. And this is certainly successful, because it is considered proven: With their high vitamin C content, cranberries strengthen the body's defences and can help with bladder problems because of their gentle diuretic effect.
