Sift together flour, 7 teaspoons sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Stir in grated orange peel. Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs; set aside.
In a small bowl, combine dried cranberries, orange juice, cream and egg. Add to the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
On a floured surface, gently knead 6-8 times. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle. Cut into 10 wedges. Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Brush with milk; sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons sugar or more if desired.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Do not overcook.
Glaze Topping: Combine powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon orange juice. Drizzle all over scones.
A classic combination made to look absolutely fantastic, great post.

I bet these smell good while they’re baking too!
