Servings: 8 people
Calories: 370kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons butter cold
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cranberries cut in half
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Orange Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, add the orange zest to the cream. Stir and set aside.
- In a food processor, add the flour and butter. Pulse about 10 times, until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Add baking powder, sugar, and salt and pulse again to combine.
- Transfer the flour mixture to the bowl with the cream. Stir until just combined, then fold in the cranberries. Don't overmix.
- Crumple up a sheet of parchment paper and then flatten it to line a 9-10" cake pan. (This helps it fit in the pan.) Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan.
- Lift the dough out of the pan using the parchment. Slice using a sharp knife to slice into 8 even triangles. Separate the wedges on the parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges, and then remove from the oven.
- Meanwhile, make your orange glaze. Add the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of orange juice to a small bowl and mix well, making sure there are no lumps of sugar. Add up to 1 tablespoon more orange juice as needed to reach the desired consistency.
- Drizzle the warm scones with the glaze and serve. Enjoy!

Notes
Storing instructions: store baked scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezing unbaked scones: freeze unbaked scones on a flat tray until hard, then store them in freezer bags for 3 months. To bake, pull directly from the freezer and bake at 425 degrees F, adding a few extra minutes to your total baking time.
