Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped orange zest
  • 3/4 cup cold heavy cream
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

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, granulated 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 cranberries and orange zest.
  5. Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick round.
  7. Cut the round into 8 wedges.
  8. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter and cream are very cold for the flakiest scones.
  • If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding to the dough.
  • For a sweeter scone, you can add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the dough.
