    A few weeks ago I made some incredibly delicious Apple Cider Glazed Apple Scones, if I do say so myself, and knew that I needed to follow up with another delicious version. Low and behold these Cranberry-Orange Scones do not disappoint!!

    How to make Cranberry-Orange Scones

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

    In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest together.

    Add the diced butter and cut it into the flour with a pastry cutter until it resembles course crumbs.

    Add the dried cranberries, yogurt, and orange juice. Stir to combine.

    Knead the dough a few times with your hands to combine, and flatten into a 7-inch circle.

    Cut the circle in half vertically, then in half horizontally. Cut each quarter into two equal wedges. You should have 8 wedges when you are finished.

    Recipe Notes & Tips

    • Each oven cooks differently so times are approximate.
    • If you do not have Greek yogurt, substitute milk or cream.
    • I used dried cranberries because fresh are not available yet here in Arizona, and I didn't want use the frozen ones in case they got all mushy.

    Since we are on the subject of Cranberries....some of my Feast 'n Devour friends are sharing their delicious cranberry recipes as well after the recipe.

    Enjoy!!

      Recipe indicates 3.75 C dried cranberries......is that correct? Seems like an awful lot of cranberries.

        Oh wow Sue, I have no idea how that happened. It should be .75 cup. Thank you so much for letting me know, I will go fix it!

          I think someone is messing with your post. the ingredient list calls for 33 cups of sugar and 5 cups of butter. I love me some butter and sugar but that seams like a lot for 2 cups of flour.

            Hi Arthur, it is .33 (1/3) cup of sugar, not 33 cups and .5 (1/2) cup of butter. Screen readers cannot read fractions, so we have to switch all of our recipes to decimal. Sorry for the confusion.
