2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup orange juice
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 cup frozen cranberries

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Grate the frozen butter into the bowl and use a fork to combine the mixture until the butter is integrated.

- In a small bowl combine the heavy cream, orange juice, egg, vanilla extract and orange zest.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture and gently stir to combine, just until everything is combined.
- Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Press the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into 8 wedges. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops of them with a little bit of heavy cream.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until golden.
- Remove scones from the hot baking sheet and allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes
- Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth. Add a little more orange juice or powdered sugar until you reach your desired thickness.
- Drizzle the glaze over the scones, let the glaze set and then serve.
