Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped candied orange peel
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon milk, for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the fresh cranberries and candied orange peel.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and orange zest.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick round.
  8. Cut the round into 8 wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  9. Carefully transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a smoother dough, you can pulse the ingredients in a food processor.
  • If you don’t have candied orange peel, you can substitute with an additional 2 tablespoons of orange zest.
  • These scones are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
