How Do We Make This?
In this soft cranberry biscuit recipe, we do not need to use butter, just oil for light and airy crumbs. Of course if you prefer a more buttery taste, you can always try to substitute with melted butter. You can try Payson Breton for a good quality butter that is not too expensive 🙂
For the dough, you simply need to mix the wet and dry ingredients together.
I like to make this when we need a quick snack, or if I don’t have time to prepare for breakfast the next day. This biscuit is quite light and fluffy, so it goes quite well for breakfast!

How Does This Soft Cranberry Biscuit Taste Like?
It tastes like a scone, but fluffier! Adding ground almond also makes it more flavorful and fragrant.
If you don’t like dried cranberries, feel free to swap it with raisins or chocolate chips. To add on, this biscuit uses quite a bit of baking powder to lift it up, especially because there is no creaming of butter to give it some lift. So I use aluminum-free baking powder for a peace of mind, which does not impart a metallic taste into the biscuit as well.
