Winnipeg famous High Tea Bakery is one of Canada’s top bakeries, and their scones are baked from scratch, fresh each morning. They use the best quality ingredients like fresh zest, local creamery butter, and top them with a light coating of sugar for a nice crunch on top.

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup butter, chilled, cubed

1/2 cup dried cranberries

Zest of one lemon

1 cup whole milk, plus extra for brushing

Preheat oven to 350°F. In the mixing bowl of stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix briefly on low speed to combine. Add butter and mix on medium-low speed until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cranberries and lemon zest, mix until just incorporated. Add milk in a slow, steady stream and continue mixing (being careful not to over-mix) until dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Roll onto a lightly floured surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut dough into rounds. Brush tops lightly with milk and dust with sugar. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 12

Although the magazine was launched in Mari Loewen’s Canadian home kitchen where it remained for 10 years, as the brand grew many incredibly talented folks were involved in the success of ANNA Magazine. To name a few, Creative Director, Segun Olude; Art Director, Shannon Dewy; Prop Stylist, Kari Wardrop, Recipe Developer & Food Stylist, Marisa Curatolo; Copywriters Tara Kaprowy and Erin Lancione, and many friends, sponsors and advertisers. As the brand transitioned into the digital world, many more were involved. Thank you to all of them.
