Preparation

Step 1

Move oven rack to middle position, preheat oven to 450 F; line baking sheet with parchment paper. Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in food processor until combined. Scatter butter evenly over top and continue to pulse until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal with a few slightly larger butter lumps remaining. Stir in cranberries. Stir in cream and juice until dough begins to form. Transfer dough to lightly floured counter and knead by hand until it forms rough, slightly sticky ball. Press dough into a circle, and cut into 8-10 wedges. Arrange on baking sheet, bake until tops are lightly brown, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and allow to cool slightly. Drizzle icing over top and let cool for 1-2 minutes to set.
