-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Gently fold in the dried cranberries and orange zest.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together.
-
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and cut it into 6 wedges.
-
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
