Orange Glazed Blueberry Scones Recipes

ORANGE GLAZED BLUEBERRY SCONES {A SMALL BATCH RECIPE}

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Line a small rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
• Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, zest, and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Scatter the butter over the flour mixture, and rub together quickly with your fingers, until it forms a sandy-looking texture with some pebble-sized pieces.
• Stir in the blueberries.
• Using a fork, lightly beat the egg yolk and 3 tablespoons of cream together in a small bowl. Pour over the flour mixture, and stir to combine (it'll look very sgraggly)
• Knead the dough in the bowl once or twice until it forms a shaggy-looking dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter. Knead it once or twice to give the dough a smoother appearance. Using your fingertips, press the dough out into a 1/2-inch thick circle. Cut the dough into 4 triangles.
• Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, and brush with tops with the remaining teaspoon of cream.
• Bake 12 to 14 minutes, until bottoms are deep golden and the tops are golden. Remove from oven and rest tray on a wire rack. Let cool completely before adding glaze.
• To make the glaze, combine the confectioner's sugar, orange juice, and butter in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth, and sugar is completely dissolved. Drizzle over the scones. Let the glaze set for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

ORANGE SCONES WITH ORANGE GLAZE

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.

HONEY GLAZED ORANGE BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
• If using frozen berries, defrost before baking. The recipe might still work with fully frozen berries but I haven't tested it out yet. So defrost 'em or simply grab a carton of fresh berries!
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter. I don't own one so I minced the chilled butter into small cubes and then cut into the flour mixture using a pair of sharp knives. You can also easily grate the butter into the flour using a box/cheese grater.
• Add your orange zest.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together your egg, milk, yogurt and vanilla.
• Use a fork to move the flour mixture to the sides of the bowl, making a hole in the middle, then pour the egg mixture into the center.
• Stir until just moistened, then carefully fold/knead in blueberries. Some will remain whole and some may smush into oblivion, blueberries have a mind of their own. At this point the mixture will probably seems fairly dry, which is absolutely what we're going for here! If needed, add a tablespoon of milk to moisten and knead for 3-4 strokes in the bowl.
• Grab a sheet of parchment paper and lightly sprinkle with flour to prevent sticking.
• Gently knead your dough until smooth, trying not to exceed 12-15 total strokes if possible. Shape into a 7 inch circle on your baking sheet and cut into wedges.
• Glazing pre-baking will give you a crusty-crunchy-sweet outer layer to your scones. If you prefer them softer on top add the glaze after baking. Or you can go nuts and add some before and a little extra after. I might be guilty of the latter. Love it so.
• If you've decided to add your glaze prior to baking, add a light drizzle to the scones and sprinkle each with a teeny bit of sugar.
• Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes, until golden, using a toothpick to test the center.
• Move to a wire rack to cool and enjoy! They're fabulous straight from the oven or cooled to room temperature.
• In case you actually wind up with leftovers, wrap tightly with saran wrap and store at room temperature for up to four days. They're great for grab-and-go breakfasts and snacks!
