Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the chopped cranberries and orange zest.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  7. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
  8. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut into wedges.
  9. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth.
  11. Once the scones are cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.

Notes

  • For a sweeter glaze, add more powdered sugar.
  • These scones can be frozen before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from frozen.
  • Feel free to substitute dried cranberries if fresh are not available.
