Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl stir in flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and orange zest. Combine 3/4 cup milk and juice of 1 orange. Mix in butter with fingertips until the consistency of course meal with a few slightly larger butter lumps. Stir in cranberries and milk and orange juice.
