Cranberry Orange Scones

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminium foil.

Take a cup of All Purpose Flour, 1 tsp of Baking Powder, ¼ tsp of Salt and 2 tbsp of Sugar in a bowl. Add ¼ cup of Butter, cut into small pieces and using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles very coarse sand. Stir in  ¼ cup of roughly chopped Cranberries and mix well. Add 5 tbsp of Orange Juice and 1 tsp of Orange Zest (optinal) and combine to make ball of dough, adding tbsp of Orange Juice if necessary. Divide the dough into four pieces and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle Sugar over them, if desired.

Bake for 16-19 minutes, until scones acquire a light golden color. Serve warm or after cooled.
