Step-by-Step Instructions for Cranberry Orange Scones
- Freeze the unsalted butter for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat.
- In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse for about 10 seconds.
- Cut the chilled butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Pulse about 15 times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Pour in the heavy whipping cream and stir until just combined, then fold in the dried cranberries.
- Knead the dough gently on a floured surface, then flatten to a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 10 wedges.
- Place the scones on the baking mat and bake for 13-15 minutes until lightly golden.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, orange zest, and juice until smooth for the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and allow to set before serving.
