Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Mix first six ingredients until combined. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs and set aside. In a small bowl, combine craisins, orange juice, cream, and egg. Add to the flower mixture and stir until well combined. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into an 8-inch circle. Cut in quarters and then cut each quarter in half. Place on the baking tray and brush with the milk, then sprinkle with 3 teaspoons sugar. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with orange marmalade.
