how to bake cranberry orange scones
makes 8-10 scones
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup dried cranberries (or any dried fruit!)
2 tbs sugar
5 tbs cold butter, cubed
2 eggs
5 tbs heavy cream
zest of one orange
few drops of vanilla
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Mix in the cranberries, then cut in the butter with a pastry cutter. Once everything is combined, the consistency should be similar to cornmeal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, orange zest and vanilla. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ones. They'll combine quickly to form a rough dough.
Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it several times, until it comes together, then shape it into a circle about 3/4 of an inch thick. Brush it with the remnants of the egg/cream mixture, and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Cut the circle into 8 wedges, and place the wedges on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes.
