- 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.

- 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!
