Cranberry Orange Scones with Walnuts
Delicious and fluffy scones infused with orange zest and studded with cranberries and walnuts, topped with a sweet orange glaze.
Ingredients
- all-purpose flour (2 cups)
- white sugar (0.25 cup)
- baking powder (1 tablespoon)
- salt (1 teaspoon)
- grated orange zest (0.5 teaspoon)
- cold unsalted butter (5.5 tablespoons)
- sweetened dried cranberries (0.5 cup)
- chopped walnuts (0.3333 cup)
- heavy cream (0.5 cup)
- large egg (1 )
- heavy cream (2 tablespoons)
- confectioners' sugar (0.5 cup)
- orange juice (2 teaspoons)
- orange extract (3 drops)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a heavy baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Stir in orange zest. Cut in cold butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until butter is pea-sized. Stir in cranberries and walnuts.
- Beat 1/2 cup cream and egg together in a small bowl until well mixed; add to flour mixture. Stir with a spoon, or by hand, until just combined and dough comes together.
- Divide dough in half; form into two 3/4-inch thick circles. Cut each circle in half; cut each half into 3 triangular-shaped scones. Place scones on the prepared baking sheet; brush with remaining 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges begin to brown slightly, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk confectioners' sugar, orange juice, and orange extract together in a small bowl until completely combined. Drizzle glaze over scones; serve warm.
