Orange Scones With Orange Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• 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 6x8-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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F / 200 degrees Celsius.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter , and using a pastry tool or your hands, mix until the mixture is crumbly and there are still pea-sized lumps of butter visible. Stir in the zest of one of the oranges. Mix together the sour cream and a 1/2 a cup of the orange juice in a measuring cup. Pour all at once into the dry ingredients, and stir gently just until blended. Do not over-do the blending!
• With floured hands, pat scone dough into balls 2 to 3 inches across, depending on what size you want. Place on greased baking sheet, and flatten lightly. Whisk together the egg and the milk. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. Let them rest for about 10 mintues.
• Bake for around 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are JUST golden brown. Transfer to rack to cool.
• Once cool, you can leave them be, or glaze them if wanted.
• To make the glaze, combine the rest of the orange juice, the rest of the zest, and the 1/2 orange cut into very small chunks. Simmer the mixture lightly for about 10 minutes, then take it off the heat and let cool. Once cool, add the confectioner's sugar until it reachs a good glazing consistency, and stir until smooth.
• If any are left over, store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, oats, sugars, baking powder and salt.
• With a fork or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients. Stir in raisins.
• Whisk together the egg, milk and vanilla.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the liquid all at once to the bowl. Lightly, mix with a fork only until the dough is evenly moistened; it will come together but still be a little wet.
• Scoop the dough by the generous tablespoon, placing the scones 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Wet your fingers and smooth out the tops a bit. Let them sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
• Bake until the tops and edges are light golden brown, 25 to 27 minutes.
• Remove the scones from the oven and cool on the pan on a rack for 15 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
• Glaze: Whisk together the ingredients in a small bowl until the glaze has no lumps. Brush over the tops of the cooled scones.

Steps:

• 1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a medium bowl, combine sugar and orange zest; mix with your fingertips until the sugar is moistened and fragrant. Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix until combined. 3. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. 4. In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream and egg until smooth. 5. Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. The dough will be sticky first, but as you press, the dough will come together. 6. Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and prepare the glaze. 7. In a medium bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing together the melted butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and orange juice. Whisk until smooth. Dip the top of the scones into the glaze and allow the glaze to harden. At this point, you can leave them as is or go for the double dip. I glazed my scones twice. Notes: -Scones store well in an airtight container for up to two days.
