In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients then add the shortening/butter in cubes, and use your fingers to combine so it resembles a crumb mixture.

Add the egg and milk, combine with a mixing spoon, then add the cranberries and lemon zest and juice.

Use a Tablespoon and drop the mixture in spoon fulls on a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake at 425 F for 12 - 15 minutes until they are golden.

Cool on a rack then enjoy on their own, or a spread of butter, jam, whipped cream, anything you like!
