Provided by Tasty

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup dried cranberries
boiling water, for soaking cranberries
2 ½ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
8 tablespoons Private Selection® Salted French Butter, cubed and chilled
2 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream, plus 2 tablespoons, cold
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 large egg
1 tablespoon cream
¾ cup powdered sugar
1 orange, zested
2 tablespoons orange juice

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. Lift the parchment paper onto a baking sheet and refrigerate the dough round uncovered for at least 20 minutes, up to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C)
  • Use a floured bench scraper to cut the dough round into 8 wedges. Separate the wedges and carefully space evenly on the baking sheet.
  • Make the egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and cream. Brush each scone generously with the egg wash.
  • Bake the scones for about 20 minutes, until they are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • Make the orange drizzle: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange zest, and orange juice until smooth. Either transfer to a piping bag and snip off the corner or use a spoon to drizzle the glaze back and forth over the scones.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • 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.
