2 cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup butter, chilled and diced

1 cup fresh cranberries, roughly chopped

⅓ cup white sugar

1 grated zest of one orange

½ cup chopped walnuts

¾ cup half-and-half cream

1 egg

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In a large bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, toss cranberries with sugar; add to flour mixture along with orange peel and nuts. Mix lightly.

In another bowl, beat together cream and egg; slowly pour into dry ingredients, mixing with rubber scraper until dough forms. Knead dough 4 or 5 times, being careful not to over handle. Divide dough in half. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Shape each half into a 6 inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Place scones on lightly greased baking sheets.

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
