Ingredients

Servings
  • 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 butter cold, unsalted
  • 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

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and orange zest in a large bowl.
  2. Grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients. Toss to combine.
  3. 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.
  4. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each dough section into a rectangular shape about 10x20 inches.
  5. 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.
  6. Place the scones onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space in between each one. 
  7. 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.
  8. Combine the powdered sugar, orange juice and zest together. 
  9. Drizzle over the warm but slightly cooled scones. Serve and enjoy.
