Preheat oven to 400o.

Combine cranberries with 2 Tbs. sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine in large bowl flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.

In another bowl combine eggs, vanilla, orange juice and orange peel. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir. Dough will be sticky. Lightly flour hands and knead in cranberry and nuts. Pat dough into a 9-inch circle on a greased baking sheet. Cut into wedges and brush with egg white-water glaze.

Bake 20 - 25 minutes.
