Cranberry & Orange Scones | Afternoon Tea Favourite



These scones are a spin on the traditional English afternoon tea treat – orange zest and juice coupled with juicy dried cranberries made these scones extra special. They are buttery, crumbly and delicious – I like them plain, as they are but you can also top them with clotted cream and jam (jelly) for the ultimate English afternoon tea experience!

Ingredients (makes 12 large scones):


300g self raising flour (or 300 g plain all purpose plus 2 tsp baking powder)
50g caster sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
100g unsalted butter, cubed straight from the fridge
100d dried cranberries
Zest of 1 orange
Juice of ½ orange
Pinch salt



Combine all ingredients except for the butter and knead well. Add butter a few cubes at a time and knead until well combined. Roll out the dough and cut into circles with a cookie cutter. Brush with some milk then bake at 180 degrees C (350 F) for 12 – 15 minutes or until golden.
