- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

- Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy!
