Instructions
Making the Scones
- Preheat Oven: Start by setting your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent any sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until everything is well combined.
- Incorporate Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and mix until you achieve a crumbly texture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and orange zest. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients along with the cranberries and chocolate chips.
- Form Dough: Turn the mixture onto a floured surface and shape it into a rough circle, about 1-inch thick.
- Cut Shapes: Cut the dough into wedges or use a round cookie cutter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Using cold butter is crucial for achieving flaky layers. Substitute fruits if desired.
