Cranberry Orange Butter Scones





Serves 16 |
A sweet and slightly tart treat.
Ingredients:
| 1 1/2 cups butter |
| 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar |
| 1/2 cup frozen cranberries, minced |
| 1/2 teaspoon orange zest |
| 2 1/2 cups flour |
| 2/3 cup sugar |
| 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
| 1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
| 1 cup chopped fresh cranberries |
| 3/4 cup buttermilk |
| 3/4 cup butter |
Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the butter until smooth and fluffy. Stir in confectioners sugar, cranberries and orange zest, mix together well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda in a mixing bowl until crumbly. Add in chopped cranberries and stir. Pour in buttermilk and stir just until moistened.
- Place mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 minutes. Divide mix in half and roll each into two balls. Gently press balls down to compress slightly and cut each ball into eight wedges.
- Arrange wedges on two baking sheets. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and transfer to wire racks to cool for a few minutes.
- Serve with the cranberry-orange butter and enjoy!
