Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.33 cup dried cranberries
- 0.33 cup golden raisins
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.5 cup heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the dried cranberries, golden raisins, and orange zest, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press it into a 1-inch-thick disk.
Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to cut the disk into 8 wedges. Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Brush the tops of the scones with a bit of heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
