Description
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
- cooking spray
- 1 ⅓ 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
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 4 teaspoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with cooking spray.
- Mix flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- baking soda
- baking powder
- and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter. Mix in orange zest.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown
- about 10 minutes.
- 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.
- Dunk warm scones in the glaze to fully coat the tops. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
