Preheat the oven to 400°
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In the large bowl of a mixer add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Add in the egg, cranberry sauce, and vanilla.
Start the mixer on low to medium speed and slowly pour in the heavy cream as you mix until everything is combined well.
Scone dough is sticky, if it's super wet or soft add a tablespoon or two of flour.
Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, then roll the dough into a ball.
Cut the ball in half and fold over the dough twice, pat it into place so it's in a flat, disk shape, or roll with a rolling pin to an inch thick.
Then cut with a pastry cutter into 8 triangles. Then repeat with the second disk. You can make them into any shape you prefer, scoop with a 3T sized scoop for a round mounded scone, or use a cookie or biscuit cutter. I
Place each piece on the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
If you make smaller scones they may be done sooner. Test with a toothpick, until it comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow scones to cool. If you plan on icing them, the cooler they are the more the icing will stay on top.
