Orange Cranberry Scones

Ingredients: (Makes 12 scones)

375 mL all-purpose flour 
125 mL oat bran 
80 mL sweetened dried cranberries, chopped 
80 mL or brown sugar 
10 mL baking powder 
5 mL baking soda 
2 mL sea salt 
250 mL low-fat buttermilk 
30 mL unsalted butter, melted 
2 mL vanilla extract 
zest of 1 orange 
1 egg

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a large baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine flours, oat bran, cranberries, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter, orange zest, and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.
4. Stir until a soft dough forms. Add a bit more flour if dough is too sticky (I had to add about 2 Tbsp).
5. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Place balls on baking sheet and pat dough to 3/4
inch circles, about 6 inches in diameter. Using a sharp knife, cut each circle into 6 wedges, but do not separate them.
6. To make the glaze, lightly beat egg with 1 Tbsp of water in a small bowl. Brush glaze lightly over top of dough (you will use less than half of the
glaze).
7. Bake scones for 15 - 17 minutes, until scones are puffed up and golden.
8. Cool slightly. Pull apart scones and serve warm.
9. These also freeze really well.
