These scones make great brunch treats! Just… don’t eat all the icing out of the bowl before putting them on the scones like I did.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 egg
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 3 tsp orange zest
• sugar for sprinkling

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut butter into cubes and cut into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands. The mixture should resemble wet, course sand. Add remaining ingredients, and mix until all ingredients are just incorporated.
3. Dump dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a 3/4 inch thick disk. Cut into 8 wedges, and pace on lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar.
4. Bake 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately move to wire cooling rack.
5. Mix together powdered sugar and orange juice until a smooth icing is formed. Drizzle over cooled scones.
6. Serve with butter, jam, tea, and clotted cream if you can get it!
