Orange Scones With Orange Glaze Recipes

ORANGE CREAM SCONES WITH ORANGE BUTTER GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest. Cut in cubed butter and mix the dough with your hands or a pastry cutter until the butter is thoroughly mixed in and the butter is about the size of peas. The dough will be crumbly.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
• Flour your counter or marble and turn out the dough onto it. Pat the dough into a circle, about 1" thick (no thinner or they'll be tough). Cut into 8 triangles and place on pan leaving about 2" between each, or into circles with a cutter if you prefer.
• Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream and bake them for 13-14 minutes until the bottoms are just golden brown, turning the pan once during baking.
• Place the scones on a rack and cool completely. Mix together the melted butter, 1 1/2 C of the powdered sugar, the vanilla, orange juice, and orange extract. Whisk until smooth. If too thin, add more powdered sugar - you'll want it to pour, but be a little thick.
• Place the used parchment paper under the rack and brush the glaze over each scone, covering the tops and sides completely with a thick layer. Let glaze harden before storing in an air tight container for up to 3 days.

ORANGE GLAZED BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; mix thoroughly. Cut in butter using 2 forks or a pastry blender. The butter pieces should be coated with flour and resemble crumbs.
• In another bowl, mix buttermilk and egg together, and then add to the flour mixture. Mix just to incorporate, do no overwork the dough.
• Roll blueberries in flour to coat, this will help prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the scone when baked. Fold the blueberries into batter, being careful not to bruise. Drop large tablespoons of batter on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until brown. Cool before applying the orange glaze.
• To prepare Orange Glaze: combine butter, sugar, orange zest, and juice over a double boiler. Cook until butter and sugar are melted and mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and beat until smooth and slightly cool. Drizzle or brush on top of scones and let glaze get hazy and hardened.
