Ingredients
- 2 all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 unsalted butter stick (4 ounces), very cold and cut into tiny pieces
- 1 egg large, beaten
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese whole milk
- 3 tablespoons milk whole
- 1 cup cranberries fresh or frozen (do not thaw if frozen), roughly chopped
For the egg wash:
- 1 egg large, beaten
- 1 teaspoon milk or water
- 2 tablespoons sugar for sprinkling
For the (optional) orange glaze:
- 2 tablespoons orange juice fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
- Pinch salt
- 3/4 cup confectioners sugar add more if needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°(F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large bowl mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and orange zest.
- Cut the butter into small cubes then, using two forks or a pastry cutter, quickly work it into the mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Set aside.
- In a small bowl whisk together the egg, ricotta cheese, and milk. Add to flour and butter mixture and use a fork to stir everything together until just moistened.
- Add in the chopped cranberries and gently fold them into dough with a spatula.
- Pour the shaggy dough out onto a clean, lightly floured work surface and shape the dough into an 8-inch circle. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and carefully transfer them to the prepared sheet. Leave an inch or so between each scone as they do spread a little.
- Lightly brush each scone with the egg wash, then sprinkle the top of each scone with sugar.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown. Cool scones on the pan for 10 minutes, then top with glaze and serve warm.
For the glaze:
- In a small bowl whisk together the orange juice, zest, salt, and confectioners sugar. Drizzle over warm scones and serve at once.
