Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add cold, cubed butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the cranberries and orange zest lightly.
Mixing
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and gently combine until just mixed.
Shaping and Baking
- Lightly flour your work surface and turn out the dough.
- Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick and cut it into wedges or use a biscuit cutter for round scones.
- Arrange the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Glazing
- While the scones cool, whisk together powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over warm scones before serving.
