Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a baking sheet (unless it is non stick) and set  aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, orange zest, baking powder, salt and  baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in the ¾ cup cold butter until mixture  resembles coarse crumbs. Add the dried cranberries and mix well.
  3. Add the buttermilk, vanilla and orange extracts. Stir just until moistened.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead dough by patting and folding  into a 10 inch circle. Dough will be about 1” thick. With a knife, cut the dough  circle into 8 wedges (like a pie).
  5. Place the wedges 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. If desired, brush with melted  butter and sprinkle with the coarse cane sugar (This will add shine and help them  to brown evenly)
  6. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until bottom of the scones are golden. Cool  on a baking sheet for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
