Instructions

Scones

1. Preheat oven to 400'C
2. Place flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a food processor, blend.
3. Add butter into food processor, pulse until blended. (See note if you don't have a food processor)
4. Add cranberries, orange zest, Greek yogurt and egg into food processor, pulse until ingredients all mixed together and forms into a dough.
5. Make small balls of dough, flatten & cut into triangles.
6. Place on baking sheet with parchment paper and bake 10-12 minutes until scones are slightly browned on top.

Icing

1. To make icing place icing sugar, extract and flavored protein powder in a Ziploc sandwich bag. Slowly add warm water. Gently squeeze bag to mix the ingredients together. If too watery add more icing sugar. Once you have a good icing consistency with a pair of scissors snip a corner off the Ziploc bag and use as your piping bag!
2. After scones are slightly cooled, place scones on a large plate and drizzle with icing.

Recipe Notes

Note: If you do not have a food processor you can use a large bowl to mix ingredients. Start with initial dry ingredients. You will have to cut in the cold butter until you have a crumbly consistency using either your hands or a pasty knife. Then add cranberries, orange zest, Greek yogurt and egg. Blend with hands until you have a doughy consistency. Once you have dough formed follow directions as above.
