Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Gently fold in the cranberries and orange zest.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
-
Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch (5 cm) thick.
-
Cut the dough into 8 wedges and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
While the scones are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and orange juice.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones.
-
Serve and enjoy!
