Mix with dried cranberries into flour mixture. Do not over mix- mix just until it forms dough. Pat out dough onto floured surface, about 3/4 thick, and cut with a 2 inch round cutter. Brush tops of scones with an egg wash of 1 egg lightly beaten with 1/3-cup milk. Sprinkle finishing sugar on top. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 450 degrees for about 15 minutes or until tops are lightly browned.
