Ingredients:  
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. orange zest
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup craisins

1 tsp. vanilla
1egg, beaten in a small bowl

Directions:
In the bowl of a food processor, place the flour, sugar, orange zest, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pulse to blend. Add butter and process until mixture resembles corn meal. Add craisins and stir to mix.
Beat the egg in a measuring cup and add enough orange juice to equal 1/2 cup. Stir in the vanilla. Add to the crumb mixture and mix just until moistened. Knead gently on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Shape into a circle and cut into wedges, or use a biscuit cutter to make any size circle.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar, then place on a parchment (or silpat)-lined cookie sheet and bake at 400º for about 15 minutes.

Personal Notes:
You can vary these by substituting dried cherries for the craisins, adding almonds and a little almond extract; or dried blueberries with lemon juice and zest in place of the orange juice and orange zest. You could also add a savory element by adding cooked bacon and grated cheddar, with buttermilk for the liquid (eliminate or reduce the sugar and vanilla).
These freeze well, so make some ahead and freeze before baking. Then bake from a frozen state in a preheated oven and breakfast will be a breeze.
