Steps:
- Rehydrate the cranberries by placing them in a small bowl and covering with boiling water. Let sit for at least 10 minutes, until plump, then drain and spread out on a paper towel to dry.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Use a pastry cutter (or your fingers) to incorporate the Private Selection® Salted French Butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently fold in the cranberries.
- In a medium bowl or measuring cup, beat the eggs, then add the heavy cream, vanilla, and orange zest and whisk to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula to combine; do not overmix.
- Place a sheet of parchment on your work surface and lightly dust with flour. Turn the dough out onto the floured parchment and pat into a circle about 7 inches in diameter.

- Grate the orange zest finely for the best flavor and distribution.
- Use cold butter for the scones. This will help to create a flaky texture.
- Work the dough quickly and gently. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to create a more even bake.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
Conclusion:
These cranberry orange scones with walnuts are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat. They are full of flavor and have a tender, flaky texture. The tartness of the cranberries and the sweetness of the oranges complement each other perfectly, and the walnuts add a nice crunch. These scones are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
