Delight in the zesty flavor of these tender orange scones, made with fresh orange zest and rich cream, perfect for a morning treat or afternoon tea.

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.
