Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. In a separate bowl, toss cranberries with sugar, add to flour mixture along with orange peel and nuts. Mix lightly.

  4. In another bowl, beat together cream and egg, slowly pour into dry ingredients, mixing with rubber scraper until dough forms. Knead dough 4 or 5 times, being careful not to over handle.
