Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/3 cups buttermilk, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled

- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the cranberries and orange juice.

- Add the maple syrup and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Keep warm for serving.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, orange juice, orange zest, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
