Cranberry Orange Scones

We love these festive and easy Cranberry Orange Scones during the holiday season! They’re slightly crisp and flakey on the outside with a light and moist center and delicious bursts of cranberry and orange flavor.

Cranberry Orange Scones

My mom used to make scones fairly often on Sunday morning before church.  She’d usually bring a batch for the youth she taught during Sunday school, and we got the extras! She was well known for her delicious scones, and because of her, I developed a love for them at a young age.

Cranberry orange scones are so perfect for the holidays, and there’s something about that flavor combination that I always crave this time of year (although you can use frozen or dried cranberries and make them any time of year!).

Scones are so EASY to make but I do have a few tips that are really essential if you want to bake absolutely perfect homemade scones.
