These Cranberry Orange Scones are tender, buttery, and bursting with tart cranberries and fresh citrus flavor, topped with a sweet orange glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries, halved or whole
  • Zest of 1 large orange
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest.
  3. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together heavy cream, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in cranberries. Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently knead into a 7–8 inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges.
  6. Place wedges on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  7. Optional: Drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar and orange juice while scones are still slightly warm.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For a sweeter glaze, adjust the powdered sugar to your taste.
