Cranberry Orange Scones

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees, and prepare a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter. Mix just until it forms a coarse meal.

Step 3

Add the egg, cream, orange zest and almond extract. Mix on low until just combined. Fold in dried cranberries.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, form dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut into 8 equal pieces. Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet still keeping them in a circle formation and leaving a little space between the scones.

Step 6

Bake for 10-12 minutes until a light golden brown.

Step 7

Mix the powdered sugar, melted butter, and orange juice in a small bowl until sugar is slightly dissolved.

Step 8

Drizzle glaze on scones when cool.
