Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter cold
- 3 cups sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups craisins
Orange Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp orange juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tsp orange zest
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and orange zest in a large bowl.
- Grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients. Toss to combine.
- Gently fold in the sour cream and vanilla. Carefully mix the dough together, being extra careful not to over-mix. The dough should be crumbly in texture.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each dough section into a rectangular shape about 10x20 inches.
- Spread the cranberries all over the dough, gently pressing them in. Fold over the long side of the dough. Cut each half of the dough into 10 even wedges.
- Place the scones onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space in between each one.
- Bake the scones at 350°F for 35-40 minutes or until the tops of the scones are golden brown. Allow the scones to cool for about ten minutes.
- Combine the powdered sugar, orange juice and zest together.
- Drizzle over the warm but slightly cooled scones. Serve and enjoy.
