CRANBERRY-TANGERINE SCONES
Yes, they're lumpy, bumpy and misshapen. But dang! These things are good. As scones go, they're very tender and flaky - not dry at all. The tangerine glaze highlights the bright citrus zest along with the wonderful dried cranberries tucked throughout these bad boys.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut the butter into small pieces and add, along with the shortening, to the flour mixture.
- Using two butter knives, a pastry blender or (my favorite) your hands, work the butter and shortening into the flour mixture until the mixture resemble coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the heavy cream and tangerine zest.
- Create a well in the dry mixture, then pour the cream mixture in.
- Mix just until the dough starts to stick together. I try to work it as little as possible after this point.
- Turn the scone dough out onto a floured board, and gently knead it together enough to form one cohesive chunk of dough.
- Work the dough into a round disc shape about 3/4 inch thick.
- Cut the disc into 8 wedges.
- Place the wedges on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 15 - 17 minutes or until the scones just begin to brown.
- Pull from the oven and let rest on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool about 10 minutes.
- Make the glaze! In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and tangerine juice.
- Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the scones. Let cool and serve.
