Steps

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix in orange zest and sugar, then add to flour mixture along with cranberries and nuts.
Add in grated chilled butter, then incorporate with your hands until mixture is crumbly.
Add vanilla and buttermilk. Mix with your hands and shape into a log, around 3 to 4 in wide. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425ºF (220ºC).
Cut log on an angle, alternating left to right to form 12 triangles.
Place on a cooking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush top with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake on middle rack of oven 20 to 25 minutes.
Spread with butter or jam and enjoy.

Recommendations

You can make the dough in advance and even freeze the log if you’re not ready to bake the scones right away. Before baking, just thaw and cut into scone shapes.
