    Recipe



    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-in. circle. Cut into 10 wedges. Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet.


    Brush with milk; sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.


    Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over scones. Combine orange butter ingredients; serve with warm scones.
