Orange Cranberry Scones

This is one of my favorites scones recipes. It’s a simple brunch recipe that goes perfectly with coffee or tea. If you’re ready to have a treat that will have you loving each and every bite, this is the one for you. 

Scones are always one of my go-to items in a great bakery.

Are scones and biscuits the same?

They’re not. You’ll find that the texture and shape of scones and biscuits are typically very different. This is because scones have eggs in them while biscuits usually will not have any eggs in them. Scones are also drier in texture as well. 

Why are my scones hard?

If your scones come out hard, there’s a good chance that you’re overmixing or over stirring them. Be certain to not do this when creating the scones.  (and if they’re a little hard, just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds!)  I say scones are more crumbly when properly cooked than hard.

Can you freeze scones for later?

You can, but they’re really the best if you can eat them when they’re fresh. Do not add the glaze before freezing.  

Double wrap in plastic wrap and let thaw on counter.  Add the glaze after thawing for a fresh taste.

Ingredients to make homemade scones:

Scones

2 cups all-purpose flour + ¼ c. for work surface

3 teaspoon baking powder

½ cups granulated sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cups cold unsalted butter

½ cups heavy cream

¼ cups sour cream

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon orange extract

1 teaspoon orange zest, preferably organic

1 cup of Craisins

Glaze

2/3 cups powdered sugar

1-2 Tablespoon fresh orange juice

 

How to make Orange Cranberry Scones

Line a large, rimmed baking pan with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat. Set aside.  

Mix two cups flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in butter with fork until butter is in pea-sized pieces.

In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream, sour cream, egg, vanilla extract, orange extract, and orange zest. Whisk to combine.

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Add in the craisins and stir until just mixed.

Sprinkle ¼ cup of flour onto a clean work surface. Transfer scone batter onto floured surface and lightly knead into a ball. Press the dough down into a ½” high rectangle (approximately 6” x 10”). Cut in half lengthwise, and then each half into 3 rectangles. Then, cut each rectangle diagonally to create triangle-shaped pieces.

Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1-2” between them. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before baking.

Pre-heat oven to 400°F, then add the baking sheet to oven when ready. Bake the scones for 18-22 minutes, or until they are nicely golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and cool for 5-10 minutes.

While the scones are cooling, prepare the orange glaze by stirring the powdered sugar and orange juice together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.

The glaze is worth making the scones for.

Thanks for stopping by as we talk all things home and travel. I was doing “DIY” before it was the thing to do. I was born in a big city and lived on farms growing up in small towns. Now I live in what some would consider a moderately big city. I still enjoy the common things associated with a home, mainly cooking and decorating, but always make time for travel. Maybe it’s finding something fun in my hometown, or exploring new places on a road trip or cruise. Please pull up a chair, have a cup of coffee, and let’s talk about it. Read more
