Cran-Orange Scone




I really liked this scone recipe. I think it would be good with Blueberries, or maybe some other dried fruit.
I give this one 4 out of 5.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 cup powdered sugar
2 -3 tablespoons orange juice

Directions:
Prep Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Mix together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Stir in cranberries and orange peel.

4. In a small bowl, mix buttermilk and egg; add to dry ingredients all at once, stirring until mixture is just moistened.

5. On a floured board, knead gently a few times, but not too much.

6. Form into a patty on an ungreased cookie sheet; cut into 8 wedges with a knife but do not move it.

7. Bake at 400 degrees F.

8. for 15-25 minutes or until light golden.

9. Mix together powdered sugar and orange juice into a glaze; drizzle over scones.

10. Separate scones and serve warm.
