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

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.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
1 large orange, zested
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup frozen unsalted butter
¾ cup dried cranberries
½ cup sour cream
1 large egg
3 tablespoons orange juice, or more as needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, orange zest, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Grate frozen butter into dry ingredients using a box grater. Combine well, incorporating butter into dry ingredients until it looks like a coarse crumble. Stir in cranberries until combined.
Combine sour cream, egg, orange juice, and vanilla extract in a small mixing bowl. Mix until smooth. Stir into dry ingredients and combine until dough just holds together and there are no dry ingredients at bottom of bowl; do not overmix.
Turn out dough and form into a 10-inch circular mound, pressing flat to about 3/4-inch thickness, and sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar. Cut circle into 8 triangles and spread apart slightly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 17 to 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
