Anise Cranberry Orange Scones

 
PRINT RECIPE
 
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. anise seeds, crushed (not star anise) 
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup cold butter, cut up
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
 
 
Orange Glaze:
 
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 tsp butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp. orange zest
  • 4 tsp orange juice (or to desired consistency)
 
 
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a baking sheet, or line with a silicone mat.
 
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, orange zest, baking powder, anise seeds, salt and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in the 3/4 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add dried cranberries; stir. Add buttermilk and vanilla; stir just until moistened.
 
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently; pat into a 10-inch circle.  Cut into 12 wedges and place on prepared baking sheet.
 
Bake about 18-20 minutes or until golden.  Cool 10 minutes then transfer to cooling rack.
 
Stir together the glaze ingredients using enough orange juice to desired consistency. Drizzle or spread onto cooled scones.
