Ingredients
For the Scones
2
cups
all-purpose flour
.33
cup
granulated sugar
.25
teaspoon
sea salt
1
tablespoon
baking powder
.5
teaspoon
baking soda
1
tablespoon
orange zest
.5
cup
very cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
.75
cup
dried cranberries
2.5
tablespoons
orange juice
.5
cup
Greek yogurt {I used full-fat Fage}
For the Glaze
1
cup
powdered sugar
2 to 3
Tablespoons
orange juice
Instructions
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.
Place wedges on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes.
Remove scones from the pan and place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
Whisk the powder sugar and orange juice together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the scones. Allow the glaze to set and serve
Notes
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.
