Chocolate & Cranberry Scones – Italian Centre Shop

Ingredients

• Pre-heat the oven to 425F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder and stir with a fork to combine.
• Grate the butter into the flour mixture and then using your fingers combine the butter into the flour mixture until you get small pieces of butter left.
• Measure 1 cup of milk, crack the egg into the milk and stir with a fork.
• Add the milk/egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon a couple of turns.
• With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 triangles and put each scone onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Brush the tops of each scone with a little bit of milk and then bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes until golden on top.
• Let cool on a baking rack for at least 20 minutes before icing.
• To make the orange glaze, whisk icing sugar and orange juice. Drizzle over each scone and let set. Enjoy!
