Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped orange zest
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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 the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gently stir in the cranberries and orange zest.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  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 circle about 3/4-inch thick.
  8. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
  9. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a sparkling finish, you can brush the tops of the scones with a little milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking.
  • If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding to the dough.
  • These scones are best served warm.
