Ingredients:  
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 t baking powder
½ t. baking soda
¼ cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
½ t. salt
7 T unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
¼ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup dried cranberries
1 cup cold buttermilk
1 egg
1 t. vanilla extract
1 beaten egg for brushing
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add sugar and salt and whisk to blend evenly. Rub or cut in cold butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pea-sized pieces. Toss in chocolate chips and cranberries.

In another bowl combine buttermilk, egg and vanilla extract and beat well with a fork. Add to flour mixture all at once, and then fold the mixture together very gently using a wide spatula to make a soft dough. The dough will be wet and sticky – do not over mix.

Scatter some flour onto the work surface and tip the dough out. Dredge the dough and your hands with a little more flour, then fold the dough over one or two times to help it come together if necessary. Pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick.

Cut the dough into 8 wedges. Brush lightly with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown on top, 16-18 minutes.
