Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Combine flour, butter, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until butter is pea-sized or smaller. Pour buttermilk and 1/2 of the orange juice in slowly, with the processor running, until dough is sticky and all flour is absorbed. Mix in dried cranberries until evenly distributed. Reserve remaining orange juice for the icing.
- Place dough on a lightly floured surface and gently roll to a thickness of about 1 inch. Cut dough into 12 triangles with a knife (or use a biscuit cutter for circles) and transfer to a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- While the scones are baking, combine reserved orange juice and 1 cup powdered sugar for icing. Stir to desired consistency, adding more powdered sugar as needed.
- Remove scones from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes to cool. Transfer to a plate and drizzle with icing. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix 4 cups of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, salt and orange zest. Add the cold butter and mix at the lowest speed until the butter is the size of peas. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and, with the mixer on low speed, slowly pour into the flour and butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough will look lumpy! Combine the dried cranberries and 1/4 cup of flour, add to the dough, and mix on low speed until blended.
- Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it into a ball. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. You should see small bits of butter in the dough. Keep moving the dough on the floured board so it doesn't stick. Flour a 3-inch round plain or fluted cutter and cut circles of dough. Place the scones on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Collect the scraps neatly, roll them out, and cut more circles.
- Brush the tops of the scones with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the insides are fully baked. The scones will be firm to the touch. Allow the scones to cool for 15 minutes and then whisk together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice, and drizzle over the scones.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE SCONES
When I had a specialty-food store in East Hampton, NY, I learned lots of tricks for cooking and baking ahead. Every morning we made thousands of muffins and scones, and I discovered that we could make all the muffin batters the night before, refrigerate them and simply scoop them into muffin pans and bake them in the morning! I started using the same techniques at home: I love treating weekend guests to these cranberry-orange scones, but I also cherish the few mornings I get to sleep late, so I make the dough a day early, cut out the scones and refrigerate them. In the morning, all I do is throw them in the oven and then drizzle them with an orange glaze. Hot delicious scones for breakfast, and no stress!

CRANBERRY ORANGE SCONES
Steps:
- These are labor intensive but well worth the effort.
Tips:
- If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
- You can also use a different type of dried fruit in this recipe, such as raisins, currants, or chopped apricots.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the scones to rise properly.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
- 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 honey.
Conclusion:
These orange cranberry scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weekend brunch. With their bright citrus flavor and tart cranberries, these scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
