Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour (175g )
  • 1/2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter (70g)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (60ml)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries (35g)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp orange juice

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400F/200C.
  • Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. (Either do this in a bowl or food processor, if using for rest of mixing.)
  • Add the butter in chunks and cut in, if mixing by hand, or pulse to breadcrumb texture if using food processor.
  • Add the sugar, cream, egg and orange zest. Mix until just combined but try not to over-mix.
  • If using food processor, remove the blade. Mix the cranberries in by hand.
  • Bring the mixture together in a ball and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Flatten into a circle, around 2/3in/1.5cm thick then cut into 6 triangles. Transfer to a lined baking sheet and bake for approx 18 minutes until golden.
  • For the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth.
  • Let the scones cool until room temperature or only slightly warm before drizzling the glaze over the top (if you put on while they are too warm it will just run off).
