2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted cold butter
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease baking sheet. Combine flour, baking powder, soda and salt. With a pastry blender cut in butter, mixing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in dried cranberries. Mix milk, egg and orange extract together, then add to flour mixture. Stir until a soft ball of dough forms. Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead gently, turning 5 or 6 times. Roll out dough with a floured rolling pin to about 1/2-inch thick. Using a round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out scones and place on the baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. Serve warm with lemon curd, clotted cream or jam and a pot of tea.
