Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons grated tangerine peel
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
3 tablespoons fresh tangerine juice
1 large egg
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons raw sugar*

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk flour, 1/3 cup sugar, peel, baking powder, and salt in bowl to blend. Add 1/2 cup chilled butter. Using fingertips, rub in until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in cranberries.

Knead dough briefly on lightly floured surface until smooth. Pat dough into 8-inch round. Cut into 8 equal wedges. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, spacing apart. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with raw sugar.
