Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Grate 1/2 cup cold butter using a cheese grater and stir into the flour mixture OR cut butter into small pieces and use a pastry cutter to cut the fat into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal or sand.
- Stir in 1 cup heavy cream, 3/4 cup dried cranberries, and 2 tablespoons orange zest until it just comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean countertop and use your hands to form it into a ball.
- Press the dough flat until it is 2-inch thick circle. Use a butter knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Bake at 425 degrees for about 12-15 minutes, until the tops are nicely browned.
- While the scones are baking make the glaze by whisking 1 cup powdered sugar together with 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl.
- Remove the scones from the oven and transfer to a wire cooling rack. Drizzle the tops with the glaze and let cool.
