Preheat oven to 400°F.
Stir together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and orange zest.
With an electric mixer, mix the cold butter cubes into the dry ingredients until fine crumbs form. A few larger bits of butter will remain.
Whisk the egg, and add the cream to a small bowl. Whisk together for a minute. Slowly add small amounts to the dry ingredients with the mixer on low until a thick and stiff dough forms. Fold in the fresh cranberries until mixed in.
Flour a work surface and use hands to flatten out the dough until about 1” thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out the scones.
Place the scones on a parchment-covered cookie sheet.
Brush the tops with the cream, and sprinkle the desired amount of sugar on top.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
