INGREDIENTS
2 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
1 cup fresh cranberries, chopped (leave a few whole)
Zest from one orange, divided (reserve 2 teaspoons for glaze)
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Glaze
2 teaspoon orange zest
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons orange juice
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and orange zest. (Note: set aside 2 teaspoons of orange zest to use in the glaze).
With clean hands, or using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add buttermilk and stir with a fork until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the cranberries. Lightly flour your hands and press dough into a ball.
Sprinkle work surface with a little all purpose flour and knead dough 6 to 8 times.
Pat dough into a ten inch circle and cut into wedges using a pastry cutter, sharp knife or a pizza cutter will work as well.
Separate wedges and place on preapred baking sheet. Brush with lightly beaten egg.
Bake in 425°F for 13 to 16 minutes. Move to wire cooling rack and cool for a few minutes before glazing.
For glaze: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, orange juice and 2 teaspoons of orange zest.
You might need to add a little more powdered sugar or and little more orange juice to get the right drizzling consistency. Use a spoon to drizzle glaze on top of each scone. Enjoy!
