Ingredients

8 servings

•

2 cups all-purpose flour
•

½ cup white sugar
•

1 large orange, zested
•

1 teaspoon baking powder
•

½ teaspoon salt
•

¼ teaspoon baking soda
•

½ cup frozen unsalted butter

•

¾ cup dried cranberries
•

½ cup sour cream
•

1 large egg
•

3 tablespoons orange juice, or more as needed
•

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•

3 tablespoons white sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, orange zest, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Grate frozen butter into dry ingredients using a box grater. Combine well, incorporating butter into dry ingredients until it looks like a coarse crumble. Stir in cranberries until combined.
Combine sour cream, egg, orange juice, and vanilla extract in a small mixing bowl. Mix until smooth. Stir into dry ingredients and combine until dough just holds together and there are no dry ingredients at bottom of bowl; do not overmix.
Turn out dough and form into a 10-inch circular mound, pressing flat to about 3/4-inch thickness, and sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar. Cut circle into 8 triangles and spread apart slightly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 17 to 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
