- 1 whole Orange, Juiced
- 1/4 cups To 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar, Depending On Amount Of Juice In Orange (Enough To Make A Good Consistency For Glaze)
- 2 teaspoons Softened Butter (optional) To Make It Richer And Make The Glaze Firm Up A Little More
- For the scones:
- Measure flour and then sift into a bowl. Add sugar and baking powder. Cut butter into flour mixture until crumbly. Add the zest of oranges. Add the dried cranberries. In another bowl, beat the half-and-half or milk, and egg. Pour liquid mixture into dry ingredients. Mix. On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/2 inch thick and cut out dough with a round or shaped cookie cutter. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Drizzle with glaze.
