Orange Cranberry Scone Ingredients

Stonewall Kitchen Orange Cranberry Scone mix
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
8 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cold and cubed
½ cup cream, dairy or non-dairy

Orange Cranberry Scone Directions

Preheat oven to 450℉. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Pour the contents of the scone mix into a mixing bowl. Add fresh orange zest. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender, two knives or fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs. May use a food processor to cut in the butter - pulse the ingredients 4-5 times.
Add cold cream and mix lightly, just until the mixture begins to hold together. Do not overwork the dough.
Turn dough onto a well-floured work surface. Gently pat together until it holds together. Pat dough into a 1-inch thick round.
Using a bench scrapper or sharp knife, cut the round into eight wedges. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Pull the triangles away from each other - 1-inch apart.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes. This step will help to keep the scones in their triangular shape. Otherwise the butter will melt quickly and the scones will spread out thin.
Bake until lightly browned, approximately 10 - 12 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
Prepare the Orange Cranberry glaze.

Orange Cranberry Glaze Directions

Empty the glaze packet into a bowl.
Whisk together one tablespoon of orange juice and one-half teaspoon of fresh orange zest with the glaze packet. If too thin, add by tablespoon more confectioner’s sugar.
Drizzle over the cooled scones.
Serve scones with Stonewall Kitchen Orange Cranberry Marmalade.
