Breads Sides

Bright with fresh orange zest and tender from a splash of cream, these scones make an ordinary morning feel special. The dough comes together quickly and bakes into golden wedges with a soft, buttery crumb. A citrus glaze drizzled over the top adds just enough sweetness to pair with coffee or afternoon tea. Serve them the day they are baked, when they are at their best.

Ingredients

2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/3 Cup Fine Granulated Sugar
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Butter - Cubed
1 Tbsp Orange Zest
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Large Egg
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Icing Sugar
2-3 Tbsp Orange Juice - Fresh Squeezed
1/2 Tsp Orange Zest

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the orange zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix just until a dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into an 8-inch circle about 1 inch thick.
Cut into 8 wedges and place them slightly apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
Let the scones cool for about 10 minutes.
