Cranberry Orange Scones
I enjoyed some cranberry and orange scones from Costco and decided I had to create a recipe for everyone to enjoy.
Ingredients
4 cups self rising flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp salt
zest of one large orange
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
2 cups craisins
1 1/2 cups butter milk
2 eggs
Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
juice from one orange
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2
To make the scone dough add the self-rising flour, brown sugar, salt and orange zest into your food processor and pulse together to combine the orange zest into the dry ingredients.
3
Add the butter to the food processor and pulse to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. Continue pulsing until it resembles course meal.
4
Transfer the dry ingredients to a large bowl and add the craisins, buttermilk and eggs. Using a wooden spoon, mix together until combined.
5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with vegetable spray.
6
Spoon large spoonfuls onto your prepared baking sheet (about 1/3 cup portions). I portioned 12 to a baking sheet with an extra 4 on another baking sheet. You portion as small or large a portion as you need for your use.
7
Place the scones into your preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown.
8
When they are golden brown, remove from the oven and make the glaze by combine the powdered juice and juice from the orange you zested.
9
Mix the glaze together until it combines. If desired, adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding a little more orange juice and powdered sugar.
10
Drizzle (or spread, depending on the glaze consistency) the prepared glaze over the scones, serve and enjoy!
