Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine egg and cream; stir into crumb mixture just until blended. Stir in cranberries. Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently four times. Shape dough into a ball. Pat and flatten into an 8 inch circle. With a sharp knife, score the dough into eight wedges and separate. Place wedges onto a parchment line baking sheet, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake at 425° for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
These are melt in your mouth good. Delicious with coffee or hot tea!
