2 cups all-purpose flour, less 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons plus 2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup ( 2/3 stick) butter, chilled
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and the 2 tablespoons sugar. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the chilled butter into the flour mixture. Mix together the egg and cream in another bowl and add to the dry ingredients
stir until just blended. Turn out on a floured board and knead for 1 minute. Shape the dough into a rectangle that is 8 inches wide, 14 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Brush on the melted butter, then sprinkle with the cranberries, remaining sugar and orange peel. Roll up jelly-roll fashion from the longer, 14-inch side, then cut into 1-inch slices. Arrange the slices, cut side down, on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve with butter.
