How To Make cranberry orange scones

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Step 2
    Stir in the cranberries and orange peel.

    In a small bowl, mix buttermilk and egg; add to dry ingredients all at once, stirring until mixture is just moistened.
  • Step 4
    On a floured board, knead gently a few tiimes, but not too much. Form into a patty on an ungreased cookie sheet; cut into 8 wedges with a knife but do not move it.
  • Step 5
    Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 15-25 minutes or until light golden brown.
  • Step 6
    Mix together powdered sugar and orange juice into a glaze; drizzle over scones. Separate scones and serve warm.
