Cranberry Buttermilk Scones

3 C flour
1/3 C plus 2 Tbsp sugar, divided
2 ½ tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
½ C baking soda
¾ C cold butter or margarine
1 c buttermilk
1 C craisins
1 tsp grated orange peel
1 Tbsp milk
¼ tsp ground cinnamon

Combine the flour, 1/3 C sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda; cut in butter. Stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Fold in the craisins and orange peel. Turn onto a floured surface; divide dough in half. Shape each portion into a ball and pat into a 6-inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Place on a lightly-greased cookie sheet. Brush with milk. Combine the cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over scones. Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. 1 dozen
