Scones Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange peel
1/3 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries

Heat oven to 400°F. Combine flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and orange peel in medium bowl; cut in 1/3 cup butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in cranberries, 1 egg and just enough half & half until dough leaves sides of bowl.

Brush with 1 beaten egg; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake for 17 to 19 minutes or until golden brown. Cut wedges apart; immediately remove from baking sheet.

Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup butter and orange marmalade in small bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Serve butter with warm scones.
