Cranberry Scones

Ingredients

• •2 cups all-purpose flour
• •1/4 cup sugar
• •1 tablespoon baking powder
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
• •3/4 cup fresh or dried cranberries
• •1 teaspoon orange zest
• •3/4 cup heavy cream
• •1 egg

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest in a large bowl.
3. 3Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then fold in cranberries.
4. 4In a small bowl, whisk together cream and egg, then add to dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
5. 5Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently knead 2-3 times, then pat into a 1-inch thick round and cut into 8 wedges.
6. 6Place scones on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
7. 7Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes and serve warm with jam and clotted cream if desired.

💡 Cold butter matters more than vigorous kneading in cranberry scones. If the dough warms during shaping, chill the cut scones before baking.
