Ingredients:

Serving

5 cups flour (white , whole wheat
5 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup sugar (white or demerara)
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup orange juice
1 cup dried sweetened cranberries

Directions:

Optional: Soak cranberries in the orange juice to plump them while you make the dough, for a few minutes, a few hours, or overnight before starting the recipe.
Mix dry ingredients together, then cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in orange juice and cranberries. Mix lightly until dough comes together. If it seems too dry, add more orange juice, but just one spoonful at a time. Texture should be like biscuit dough. Don't overmix.
Dump the dough out on an oiled or floured surface. Oil or flour your hands, pat the dough together, then divide into four balls.
Place each ball on an ungreased cookie sheet (or use a little cooking spray, just on the spots where you place the dough), then smooth and flatten each one to a 6-inch round about 1 inch thick.
Sprinkle rounds with sugar if desired (it makes the tops sparkly-I use demerara sugar if I have it). Using an oiled knife, cut each round into 6 wedges.
Bake at 425 degrees for about 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool on pan for a few minutes, then use a small serrated knife to separate the scones and transfer them to a rack or cloth-lined basket.
You can also make drop scones by dropping spoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet. (I like to use an ice cream scoop-the kind that will push the dough out. It makes them round and consistently sized.) These don't bake so long (maybe 15 minutes), so watch them closely.
