Instructions for Making This Recipe

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand. Using a food processor, chop the cranberries into small pieces. Zest an orange.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, orange zest, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda.

Sometimes it’s just easier to use your fingers.

Using a blending fork or your fingers, cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Add chopped cranberries, orange juice, whole milk, and one large egg.

Knead 6-8 times on a floured surface. Pat out and cut out rounds of dough using a biscuit cutter for more traditional shaped scones.

Orange Cranberry Scones using a scone pan

Another option is to pat the dough into a circle and cut it into 8 wedges. Place scones in a scone pan that has been sprayed with baking spray. 

If you don’t have a scone pan, you may use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, or even a round cake pan. Make sure the scones do not touch each other on the pan.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

Prepare the Glaze:

While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle over warm scones.

This recipe will make 8 scones. Perfect for a holiday tea party.
