Glazed Cranberry Orange Scones

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix it well.
  3. Add the cold butter pieces and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the dried cranberries and orange zest.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, using a fork to combine until it forms a dough.
  6. On a floured surface, knead the dough gently a couple of times. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
  7. Cut the circle into wedges (like a pizza) and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. While those are baking, let’s make the glaze! Simply whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and optional zest in a bowl until smooth.
  9. Once the scones are out and cooled a bit, drizzle that lovely glaze on top. Serve them up warm, and enjoy!

These scones are a real treat and will have everyone coming back for more. Perfect for a Sunday brunch or just when you’re chilling at home! So, go ahead and indulge!
