    2 tsp baking soda

    1/4 tsp orange extract
    1/4 tsp orange zest
     
    Directions:
     
    Preheat oven to 350*F.
     
    In a small bowl, combine baking soda, orange extract, & sour cream. Set aside.
     
    In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, orange zest, & salt. Cut in the butter until you have an oatmeal-like consistency. Stir in the sour cream mixture & egg into flour mixture until just moistened. Gently stir in cranberries.
     
    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead slightly to reduce stickiness. Roll dough into a 3/4″ thick round. Cut into 12 wedges & place 2″ apart on a parchment or silicone-lined baking sheet.
     
    Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
     
    Meanwhile, mix all icing ingredients together in a small bowl.
     
    Remove scones from oven and let cool slightly before drizzling icing over each scone.
