Orange-Cranberry Scones

1/2 cup melted butter

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup milk

1 tablespoon orange zest

1/2 cup raw sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup dried cranberries

Icing:

1 cup powdered sugar

1-2 tablespoons orange juice

Whisk together melted butter, sour cream, milk, sugar, zest, salt, and baking powder. Stir in flour carefully not to over mix. When flour is almost incorporated, fold in cranberries. Pat out dough onto a floured surface. Cut triangle shaped scones and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until the bottom of the scones just start to brown.

To make icing: mix powdered sugar and a tablespoon or two of orange juice. Pour into a piping bag and pipe over cooled scones.
