The Olive Bin

Cranberry-Orange Mini Scones

Preheat oven to 425F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In a separate small bowl, whisk together egg, half and half, and most of the orange zest; set aside. Add olive oil and egg mixture into the flour mixture, just until mixed. Fold in the chopped cranberries. Dump mixture out onto a floured countertop and, with floured hands, separate dough into two equal pieces and pat each into a circle about 3/4 inch thick. Cut each circle like a pie into 8 slices. Arrange scones on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to a cooling rack and let cool completely before dipping in the glaze. Glaze:In a small bowl that is wide enough to dip a scone, combine 1 C sifted powdered sugar with orange juice and balsamic. Whisk until smooth. Dip tops of the scones in the glaze and place them (glaze side up)on the cooling rack. Let dry.
