Easy Orange, Cranberry Cream Scones Recipe

This EASY Cranberry Orange Scones recipe is perfect during the holiday season, or anytime of year! They are slightly crisp and flakey on the outside and perfectly moist in the center with delicious bursts of cranberry orange flavor.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1 tablespoon grated orange zest

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 large egg

For the glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons fresh orange juice

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly.

Stir in the dried cranberries and orange zest.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg until smooth.

Gradually add the cream mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.

Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut it into 8 wedges.

Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

While the scones are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Once the scones are done, let them cool for 5 minutes before drizzling the glaze over them.

Enjoy your delicious orange, cranberry cream scones!
