Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
Zest and juice of 1 medium orange
1/2 cup heavy cream (plus more for brushing)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well-combined.
Add the cubed butter into the dry mixture and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped cranberries and orange zest until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges or use a round cutter.
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with additional heavy cream.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
