Directions

  2. 2. Cut the cranberries in half and set aside in a small bowl.
  3. 3. In a medium bowl combine the milk, egg, butter and orange peel and set aside.
  4. 4. Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the halved cranberries, cheese and nuts. Toss with a fork to distribute. Add the milk mixture all at once and stir the flour mixture until just moistened.
