Steps

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine 3 1/4 cups flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender, two knives or your hands, until mixture is crumbly, with small pieces of butter. Toss in cranberries or raisins to coat.

In a smaller bowl, mix egg, milk and agave syrup; stir into flour mixture until moistened. Using 1/4 cup flour, generously flour work your surface. Turn dough, which will be slightly sticky, out onto surface, and knead until smooth.
