A friend surprised me on my birthday last year with these they were so yummy! She was so thoughtful to bring them by. (Katie McVey Van Houten) this week I was eating an orange and Logan was eating some raisins and I immediately thought of these. I made them on Saturday and didn't but the glaze on them but ate it with homemade raspberry jam.
Cranberry Orange Scones
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.
