The cranberry orange scone is a delightful treat with bursts of tart cranberries and zesty orange flavor. Here’s a simple recipe to make these scones at home:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- Zest of 1 orange
- 3 to 4 tablespoons milk
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Cranberries and Orange Zest: Stir in the cranberries and orange zest until evenly distributed.
Combine with Milk: Gradually add 3 tablespoons of milk to the mixture, stirring just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; you want a slightly sticky consistency.
Shape Scones: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into scone shapes with a round cookie cutter or glass.
Bake: Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush with remaining milk for a golden crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your homemade cranberry orange scones with a cup of tea or coffee!
