Challenge Recipe
CRANBERRY ORANGE SCONES

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
10 teaspoons sugar, divided
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup cold butter or margarine
1 cup dried cranberries
¼ cup orange juice
¼ cup half-and-half cream
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk

GLAZE:
½ cup confectioner’s sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice

Directions: In a bowl, combine flour, 7 teaspoons sugar, orange peel, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside. In a small bowl, combine cranberries, orange juice, cream and egg. Add to flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. On a floured surface, gently knead 6-8 times. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with milk; sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over scones.

GOOD LUCK!
