Moist and scrumptious, these scones come out perfect every time. I savor the chewy dried cranberries and sweet orange glaze. There's nothing better than serving these remarkable scones warm with the delicate orange butter.

My girls and I made this for the Ladies Tea at our church. It was wonderful, moist, not too sweet. Just perfect.

Loved these! I soaked the cranberries in the orange juice as the reviews had suggested. I also greased the baking sheet, as the dough was quite difficult to work with, and I was glad I did. Thanks so much for the recipe! I'm definitely making it again!

Simple and Delicious. I did not knead too much,and it worked out just fine.

these were excellent. I didn't make the orange butter- I didn't think they needed it but the glaze made them wonderful. I'll probably make them again next week (or sooner).

I added heaping teaspoons of baking powder and found the scones more moist and fluffy. Great recipe.

These were the most delicious scones. My boyfriend, who hates cranberries, thought they were great.I followed the recommendation of other reviews and soaked the cranberries in the orange juice. I didn't have any half and half but it seemed fine using plain old 2% milk.

I did the same as some suggested and soaked the cranberries in orange juice. These were light and fluffy and very good. I would definitely make them again. Update - I have also made these scones using blueberries and substituted lemon rind and then used a lemon glaze, very tasty!
