I start these in my food processor because it is so fast but they can be made just as easily in a large bowl by cutting the butter in with a pastry blender. You can also just rub the butter into the dry ingredients using your hands like Nan did.

Cranberries can be substituted for the partridgeberries if they are unavailable.

It was actually Cranberry Orange Muffins that gave me the idea for these scones. Since partridgeberries are like a more intensely flavoured cranberry I thought they would work really well.

I was right. The citrus flavour and aroma paired perfectly with the tart berries. I know my mom in articular would absolutely love these. I must remember the next time we do brunch.
