Scones
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp baking soda
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups white sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter
1 egg
1 cup dried cranberries
1 tsp orange zest
1/2 tsp orange extract
Icing
1 cup icing sugar
2 tbls water
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.
