These homemade scones are perfectly tender, crumbly, and loaded with lots of yummy orange and cranberry flavors. A drizzle of fresh orange glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
A freshly baked warm scone – or even a chilled or room temp scone – is delightful with a hot cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa. And they are perfect to serve as a kid-friendly breakfast treat with a big glass of milk!
These flaky scones will keep well for up to 5 days when stored at room temperature. I recommend storing them in a reusable box-type container that has an airtight lid. But be sure that there is enough room to put the lid on without smushing and smearing the orange glaze.
Mix two cups flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter cubes with fork (or pastry cutter) until butter is about the size of peas.
