How to Make After The Holiday Scones Aka Cranberry Sauce Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup cranberry sauce, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and 1 large egg.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently form it into a 10-inch circle.
  8. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
  9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden brown.
  11. Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While the scones are cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons orange juice until smooth. Add more orange juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.
  13. Once the scones have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top.
  14. Let the glaze set for 20-30 minutes before serving.
