Cranberry Orange Scones

What you’ll need

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp orange zest
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, roughly chopped
• 2/3 cup heavy cream, plus 1 tbsp for brushing
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp orange juice

Make it

1. 1Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. 2Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and zest. Cut in the butter with your fingers or a pastry cutter until it looks like coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized pieces.
3. 3Toss in the cranberries. Whisk the cream, egg and vanilla, pour it in, and stir just until a shaggy dough forms.
4. 4Pat the dough into an 8-inch round about 1 inch thick, cut into 8 wedges, and space them on the sheet.
5. 5Brush with cream and bake 18–20 minutes until golden. Cool 10 minutes.
6. 6Whisk the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth and drizzle over the scones.
