Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 8 tablespoons Cold Butter
  • 1 cup Cranberries halved
  • 3/4 cup Heavy Cream plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1 Egg
  • zest of one Navel Orange
  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Orange Juice
  • zest of half a Navel Orange
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet pan with a Silpat.
  • Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ginger, and cinnamon.
  • Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is in little pieces.
  • Stir in the cranberry halves.
  • Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to get the butter cold again.
  • Whisk together 1/2 cup cream, egg, and zest.
  • Stir it into the flour mixture. Use a fork to mix it all together.
  • Continue to move the dough around and press it together using the back of the fork, but do not over work the dough.
  • Refrigerate the dough for another 10-15 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 2 even balls. Press each one into a 6-inch circle on the baking sheet. (Optional: Refrigerate the pan with the dough circles for 10-15 minutes before baking.)
  • Brush the circles with the remaining cream quickly and bake for 22 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and cut each circle into 8 wedges.
  • Gently pull them apart and place the pan back in the oven for another 3 minutes.
  • Remove and place the scones on a wire rack to cool.
  • Whisk together the glaze ingredients and spread on top of the cooled scones.
  • Let the glaze set before serving.
  • Store in a very loosely sealed container.
