Bright, buttery, and full of holiday flavor, these Cranberry Orange Scones are soft, flaky, and topped with a sweet orange glaze, perfect for cozy mornings.
Preheat oven to 350℉. In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
With a cheese grater, grate your cold butter and mix into dry ingredients with your hands until it reaches a crumbly texture.
Create a well in the center of your bowl and add egg, buttermilk, and orange zest. Mix until just combined.
Fold in dried cranberries; you want the dough to be just sticky enough to stick to your hands.
Pour mixture onto a floured surface and shape into a circle. Cut into serving sizes, the same way you would a pizza. Then place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Brush with heavy cream and bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden on edges.
While the scones bake combine the glaze ingredients and mix until smooth. Adding additional orange juice to get the desired consistency. Once the scones have cooled slightly drizzle the glaze over top.
