Description

Plump cranberries, sweet orange glaze… Who could ask for anything more? Perfect for a holiday brunch.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SCONES:
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 2-½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ cups Sugar
  • 3-½ Tablespoons Butter, Cut Into Small Pieces
  • ¼ cups Dried Cranberries
  • 2 teaspoons Orange Peel, Grated
  • ¼ cups Non-fat Milk
  • ¼ cups Fresh Orange Juice (I Used The Juice Of An Orange)
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • ¼ cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Orange Juice

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal (I used my hands). Stir in cranberries and orange peel. Add milk, orange juice and egg stirring just until moist.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 15 times or until smooth.

Form into an 8 x 8 square. Cut 4 even rows into the dough. Cut each row into triangles. I got 6 scones per row. (sorry no picture, my hands were to sticky to pull out my camera).

Carefully transfer dough to a baking sheet coated with cooking spray or lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Let them slightly cool for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile make your glaze.

In a small bowl add your powdered sugar and orange juice (I juiced 1/4 of an orange) mix until you reach a consistency you like. Add more sugar if too thin, add more juice if too thick. Drizzle over the top of scones.

Eat and enjoy!
