Absolutely Fabulous

These are a little different than I usually make. The eggs and cream make them so light and fluffy. But worth the time. Her new book is so great!!!!

  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour, for rolling out scones
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange rind
  • 3/4 pound unsalted butter, very cold
  • 1 egg, beaten with 2 tbsp cold water
  • 1 cup heavy cream (at least 10 %)
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
  • 4 teaspoons orange juice, freshly squeezed

Recipe Method

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2 .Line a pan with parchment paper.

3. In a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, mix 4 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest. Add the cold butter and mix at the lowest speed until the butter is the size of peas. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and, with the mixer on low speed, slowly add to the flour mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough will look lumpy! Combine the dried cranberries and 1/4 cup flour, add to the dough, and mix on low speed until blended.

4. Dump the dough onto a well floured board and knead it into a ball. Flour your hands and rolling pin and roll the dough just under one inch thick. You can hand cut the scones into triangles or use a 3 inch round cookie cutter.

5. Brush the tops with beaten egg and water mixture, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20 minutes, watching the scones carefully in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Mix the confectioners sugar and orange juice and drizzle over scones.
