How to Make Cranberry Orange Scones Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, orange zest, and egg.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the cranberries.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
  8. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
  9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. While the scones are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth. Add more orange juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
  12. Let the scones cool slightly before drizzling with the glaze.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
