Ingredients
Scones:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter, cold
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ cup fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Glaze:
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add cream and egg and gently fold into the mixture until well combined. Add fresh and dried cranberries and orange zest and stir until just combined.
- On a floured surface, form dough into a 1-inch thick disc about 8 inches in diameter. Cut dough into 8 equal triangles and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 14 to 17 minutes. Allow scones to cool.
- While scones are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking all glaze ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth.
- Spoon glaze over cooled scones before serving. Store leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

This brings a cozy start for a winter day!
I’d never even heard of a scone until about 30 years ago. But, it did not take me long to love them after being served one. I now have a collection of different flavored scone recipes. I make them, then freeze them so I can always have some ready when I just need one. I like the dense texture. I can make them taste like most anything, sweet or not, and I can add a bit of anything, nuts, fruit, even bits of meat. They have become a favorite of mine,
