Cranberry Orange Scones

Cranberry Orange Scones Makes 6
1 1/2 cups flour
3 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp orange zest
1/4 tsp salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter cut into pieces and chilled
1/2 cup half and half cream plus extra for brushing
2/3 cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 375. Place all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Cut butter into dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir cream into dough. Mix just until dough comes together. Stir in cranberries.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Roll dough twice to an inch thick each time folding in half. Shape dough into a circle 1 inch thick and cut into 6 wedges. Place on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet and brush with cream. Bake for 15-18 minutes until tops are nicely browned.
