Cranberry Orange Scones

I love a breakfast scone that includes some kind of fruit in them. Breakfast is already such a delicious meal but to add in baked goods and fruit… well, that is what makes it the best! The taste of the baked outside combined with some fresh fruit is so delicious and really makes the perfect combination! These cranberry orange scones do just that. The combination of cranberry and orange is SOO GOOD. They give these scones so much flavor! The scones are perfectly soft and moist on the inside with the crunchy crumbly edges we all love in a scone. Once you are ready to bake the scones then you brush them with some of the reserved milk and orange juice mixture. To really take them to the next level then you sprinkle them with some sugar before popping them in the oven. In fact, it’s that extra little touch that makes them feel like bakery-style scones! Try these out and then you will never go back to cereal for breakfast!

Ingredients You Need to Make Cranberry Orange Scones

These scones use simple ingredients. Don’t skip that fresh orange zest though… it really does take these scones to the next level! See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the measurements.

Flour: I used all purpose flour in this recipe.Granulated sugar: Just a little bit of granulated sugar sweetens up these scones. Baking powder: This keeps the scones from getting too dense. It helps them to rise and be soft. Salt: This is used to enhance all of the other flavors. Orange zest: Fresh orange zest is what sets these scones apart. Butter: I used unsalted butter that was cold/chilled and cubedHeavy cream: Make sure that this is chilled before you add it to the mixture. Egg: Only 1 egg is needed for this recipe. Vanilla extract: Adds some flavor to the sweetness. Cranberries: I prefer using fresh cranberries over frozen but you can use those if that’s all that you have.Sugar crystals: These are used for topping on the scones right before they are baked. Powdered sugar: This dissloves so easily and makes the glaze super smooth. Fresh orange juice: Adding this in to the icing gives it a flavor to match the scones.Vanilla extract: Adds some sweet flavor.
