Delicious baked goods for the whole family. You can prepare the dough for buns in advance and freeze it, but they are still tastier when freshly baked. Serve buns with sour cream or whipped cream.

Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the butter into pieces. Coarsely chop the cranberries. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from the lemons and thinly slice it to yield about 1 1/2 tablespoons of zest. Set the lemons aside for another use. In a food processor, combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, and zest until the mixture resembles crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix fresh cranberries with 3 tablespoons sugar. Add the berries to the flour mixture and stir to combine. If using frozen cranberries, simply add them directly to the flour mixture.
