Instructions

For The Scones

  • Preheat oven to 425°, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add a little flour to a clean surface. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
  • Using a pastry blender, or a fork, add butter and mix until crumbly. 
  • Add cranberries and orange zest, stir.
  • Pour orange juice and half & half into bowl. With clean, cold hands, mix into the flour mixture until just combined. Add remaining juice squeezed from the orange, if more liquid is needed.
  • Remove from bowl and knead about 8 times. Flatten out to about an inch or so and make a round disc like shape.
  • Cut into 8 pieces. Place onto the parchment paper separating each scone a bit.
  • Sprinkle sugar on top of each scone prior to baking.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until browned. 
  • Remove from oven and once cooled a bit, drizzle with orange glaze and enjoy.

For The Orange Drizzle

  • In a small mixing bowl, stir powdered sugar and milk together. Add orange zest and stir. Drizzle over warm scones.
