Cranberry & Orange Scones
These cranberry and orange scones have a nice bright flavor to them. We love this flavor combo during the holidays. Especially around Thanksgiving these fit right in because of the cranberry flavor!
Servings: 8
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 1 ½ tablespoon orange zest
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
- ¼ cup heavy cream
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 365 degrees
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut the cold cubes of butter into the flour mixture until the butter is completely incorporated and the mixture has obtained a fine, mealy texture.
- Add the cranberries and orange zest and gently mix together.
- Fold in the buttermilk and orange juice and mix together until just combines and the mixture has formed into dough.
- Form the dough into an 8 inch disc, about 1 inch thick.
- Cut the disc into 8 wedges and place the scones onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of each scone with a small amount of cream and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the scones puff up and the tops just start to brown.
- Serve warm with a side of jam, honey, and butter.

Cassie what is 3-49 thing of butter? Please let me know. Thank you
Have you ever frozen these? I am due with baby #2 in two weeks and I am looking for easy breakfast ideas to freeze.
Hi Laurie!
I prefer using the dough right away, but you can indeed freeze them for later use.
Congrats on the new addition to the family soon! :)
So good! Mix together 3-49 of a thing of lukewarm butter and 4-5 tablespoons honey. Mash together well, and drizzle over. No need of butter(or honey.)
