Cooking Steps
- Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet.

- Whisk together flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 3 tbsp sugar and 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk together three-quarters of the cream, egg, orange zest and 2 tsp honey in a medium bowl.
- Remove butter from the freezer, then, using the largest side of a box grater, grate butter.

- Drain cranberries. Add cream mixture and cranberries to the large bowl with butter and flour. Stir gently until combined.
- Using two large spoons, scoop batter onto the prepared baking sheet in 6 large mounds.
- Brush 2 tbsp milk onto muffin tops, then sprinkle 1/2 tsp sugar over each muffin top.
