For the Orange Glaze:

- 1 cup powdered sugar

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to use cold butter for the scones to achieve a flaky texture.
- Do not overwork the dough, as it can make the scones tough.
- Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the dried cranberries and orange zest.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, heavy cream, and egg.
6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently until it comes together.
8. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut it into 8 wedges.
9. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush them with heavy cream.
10. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
11. While the scones are baking, prepare the orange glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest.
