1 stick unsalted butter
½ cup chopped fresh cranberries
1 orange, zested
¾ cup buttermilk, or more as needed
¼ cup cranberry-pomegranate juice
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is coarse and crumbly. Add cranberries and orange zest.

Turn dough out onto a floured board. Shape into a circle and cut into 10 wedges. Arrange wedges on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned, 12 to 20 minutes.
