CRANBERRY ORANGE SCONES RECIPE

Ingredients

2 Cups All Purpose Flour

1/3 Cup Sugar

1 Tsp Baking Powder

1/4 Tsp Baking Soda

1/2 Tsp Salt

8 Tbsp Unsalted Butter

1/2 Cup Dried Cranberries

1 Tsp Grated Orange Zest

1/2 Cup Sour Cream

1 Tsp Vanila

2 Large Egg

Method

Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat at 400 degrees.

In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Grate butter (using large hole box grater) into flour mixture and use your fingers to work in butter so that mixture resemble a coarse meal.

Stir in cranberries and orange zest.

In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and 1 egg until smooth.

Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form.

Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball.

The dough will be sticky in places and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface flight roll dough until it's about 3/4 inch thick.

Using your favorite cookie cutter ( about 2-3 inch diameter), "cut" out the scones and place on a cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper or foil) about 1 inch apart.

Beat the remaining egg, and brush egg wash on the scones.

Bake until golden brown for about 15-17 minutes.

Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
