This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BIC® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

As you prepare for your treat swap, create a homemade recipe card for each friend. You will need:

  • Cardstock
  • Paper trimmer
  • Decorative edge punch
  • Glue stick
  • #KeyLime BIC® Mark-It™ marker

Begin by carefully cutting two pieces of cardstock to the size you want your cards to be with a paper trimmer. Next, use a decorative edge punch down the bottom of one piece of paper. On the other piece of paper, color the bottom edge with the #KeyLime BIC® Mark-It™ marker. Apply the glue stick to the back of the decorative paper and press the two pieces of cardstock together with the side and top edges meeting and the pretty edge overlapping the colored area.

BIC Mark-It™ markers are available in a pack of 36 fine and ultra fine tip vibrantly-colored markers and another pack of 8 shimmering metallic colors.

Since BIC markers are low odor and acid free (no added acid, no measurable pH), I can sit at the table and doodle without getting vaporized by the smell.

And, since we are talking about swapping recipes with friends, I wanted to share a recipe with you.

Ingredients
For scones

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cup cranberries, sliced in half

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Mix together the cranberries, orange zest, and juice. Allow to sit while oven preheats.
  3. Whisk together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using pastry blender, cut in the butter until flour resembles sand. Use your fingers to work flour into any remaining lumps of butter.
  4. Toss cranberries in the flour mixture.
  5. In a large measuring cup or small bowl, whisk egg into buttermilk. Stir into dry ingredients. Dough will be wet and sticky.
  6. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and sprinkle with additional flour. Knead gently just until the dough holds it shape.
  7. Shape dough into a circle and cut into eight wedges. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet and place in a fan-fold shape.
  8. Brush with a little buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until scones are lightly golden brown.
  10. While scones are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and juice for the glaze.
  11. Allow scones to cool slightly on a wire rack and drizzle with glaze.

    I just made these this morning and it didn’t turn out well. The dough was more like a batter and I had to add a lot of extra flour to be able to shape it into scones. I’m not sure what went wrong. I followed the recipe exactly.

      It is a very soft dough. I guess it might look like a thick batter. I plop it onto a floured surface and work in enough flour for it to hold shape but they are still very soft. Adding too much flour makes them thick and dry. I’m sorry it did not work well for you.

    I made these today and had the same issue as Irene, above. The “batter” looks nothing like a scone dough. I suspect the problem is the orange juice. Either the cranberries should be drained before being added to the flour, or the exact amount of juice should be specified, as oranges vary greatly in size and juiciness. Although the flavor profiles are good, I would never make this recipe again.

    I just made these great scones! Yes, the batter was sticky but they turned out perfectly! I will always use this recipe. I put the butter in the freezer for 20 minutes before adding. Then I used a box grater!
