Cranberry-Orange Scones
Yield: 9 scones • Preparation: 15 minutes • Bake: 10 to 12 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
- ½ cup cold butter
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 2 large eggs, divided and beaten

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest, whisking until incorporated. Using a pastry blender, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cranberries, stirring to combine. Set aside.
