Found this recipe online and tweaked it a little to make it “more orangey.” It’s very easy and so good! The scones come out with a wonderful texture.
Ingredients
Glaze
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar
- 4 teaspoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- cooking spray
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar, divided
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 ½ tablespoons orange zest
- 6 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 medium egg
- 1 ½ tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with cooking spray.
Step 2
Mix flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter. Mix in orange zest.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Whisk orange juice, egg, and vinegar together and pour into the flour mixture. Stir until moistened and sticky.
Step 4
Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead gently about 10 times. Pat into a 6×8-inch rectangle. Cut rectangle into 4 squares; cut each square diagonally into 8 triangles. Arrange scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Make the orange glaze while the scones are baking. Mix 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and orange juice until thick and smooth; glaze should drip slowly off the back of a spoon. Mix in orange zest.
Step 7
Dunk warm scones in the glaze to fully coat the tops. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Cook?s Note
If you like less orange flavor, add less zest. If you want more orange flavor, add more.
