- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup cold butter (cut into pieces)
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- milk (to brush top of scone)
- granulated sugar (to sprinkle top of scone)
- 3 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- ¼ teaspoon orange zest ((or to taste))
Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter, to mix in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs, about the size of peas. Stir in cranberries and make a well in the center. Set aside.
Combine eggs, whipping cream, and orange zest. Add the wet ingredients into the well in the flour mixture. Stir just until combined.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough by folding and gently pressing dough for 10 to 12 strokes until nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll dough into an 8-inch circle and use a sharp knife to cut it into 8 wedges.
Place wedges 1-inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with additional sugar.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom. Remove scones from the baking sheet. Let slightly cool and top with icing.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
After scones are slightly cooled, place scones on a large plate and drizzle them with icing.
