Cranberry Bread

2 C all-purpose flour
1 C sugar
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1/4 c. unsalted butter
1 egg
3/4 c. orange juice

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl.

Add the butter in chunks and cut it into the dry ingredients with your fingers or a pastry blender.

In a second bowl, beat the egg, orange juice, and orange peel together until well blended. Add to the flour mixture and stir to blend ingredients. Fold in the cranberries. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
