Cranberry Sauce is one of those dishes you would most likely have some left over in the refrigerator after Thanksgiving. It is a must-have for the Thanksgiving feast but estimating the amount to cook is almost impossible. Left over is inevitable as most people will make a generous amount using the entire bag of cranberries just in case. Over the next few weeks, it will get pushed further and further back in the refrigerator and eventually forgotten. Do not let that happen as I have this easy and delicious scones recipe you can use for all the upcoming gatherings in the weeks ahead.

Fuss Free Skillet Scones

These fuss free Cranberry Sauce Skillet Scones can be put together in no time at all. There is no need to mess up the counter or use a cookie cutter. Mixing the dough in the food processor makes it really, really easy. Then, simply transfer the dough to a bowl and fold in the cranberry sauce. Finally, transfer to a cast iron skillet and you are all done! This works out well as you do not want to handle the dough too much or you would end up with tough scones.

Apart from the cranberry sauce, only a few simple pantry ingredients are required to make these tender cake-like scones. They are great for tea time, snack time, or even breakfast.

      Do you have to use a cast iron? Can you bake them on a sheet pan or baking dish instead?

        You can bake this scones on a sheet pan or baking dish. I used a cast iron pan because the dough is wet and sticky and there is no need to shape it in the pan. Very much easier.

    I made these yesterday and they were delicious and a big hit. As I always do I partially substituted the plain flour with whole wheat (1 1/4C ww, 1C white) and that worked well. This recipe will definitely be added to my scone repertoire!

    I wanted to use up some canned cranberry sauce and scones sounded pretty good- this is definitely a more desserty scone, one that will please more palates than the traditional, dry ones. The food processor made this really easy and the cast-iron skillet gave it a real country charm.

    It was a little troublesome getting it out of the pan while it was still warm- once it cooled to room temp, it was easier to cut and serve. Kind of a problem for impatient folks that want to gobble stuff up as soon as it comes out of the oven lol! Either way, very tasty and easy way to use up that ‘once a year’ ingredient.

    I think I might try this again with other jams/preserves… I have a jar of citron tea/mix that is desperate for attention too!

      I can understand the impatience because who wouldn’t want to gobble up fragrant baked goods when they come out of the oven? Glad that you enjoyed the recipe and yes, other jams and preserves would be great for this recipe as well.

    Loved these, it was perfect for our leftover cranberry sauce. Added a few slivered almonds and a little sprinkle of sugar on top. Delish!
