29. 1. **Preheat Your Oven and Prepare the Scones:**
30. - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
31. - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
33. 2. **Mix Dry Ingredients:**
34. - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
36. 3. **Cut in Butter:**
37. - Add the cold cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use your hands or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
38. - This step is crucial as it ensures the scones will be tender and flaky.
40. 4. **Add Wet Ingredients:**
41. - In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, orange zest, and orange extract.
42. - Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix as you want your scones to be tender.
44. 5. **Fold in Cranberries:**
45. - Gently fold in the cranberries into the dough to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout.
47. 6. **Shape and Bake Scones:**
48. - On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
49. - Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut out rounds of scone dough. Place these onto your prepared baking sheet.
50. - If you have extra dough, you can re-roll it once and cut out more scones.
52. 7. **Bake:**
53. - Bake the cranberry orange scones for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
54. - Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
56. 8. **Cool and Enjoy:**
