Petite Orange And Cream Scones Recipes

ORANGE CREAM SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or spray with cooking oil).
• Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter (or using a standing mixer) and mix the dough until the butter is about the size of peas, and the dough resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk egg, sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and pat into a 1" thick circle. Cut into 8 triangles. Place scones on parchment lined baking tray, making sure the scones are evenly spaced apart.
• Brush the tops of each scone with a little bit of heavy cream, and bake for 15-16 minutes, or until scones are golden brown.
• While the scones are cooling, mix together melted butter, powdered sugar (starting with 1 cup), vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest. If the glaze seems too thin, add in the last 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
• Pour the glaze over the scones and enjoy!

MINI ORANGE CREAM SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and orange zest. Set aside.
• Place a 1/2 cup of heavy cream into the freezer for 5-10 minutes. In the meantime, melt the butter, and squeeze the orange, straining out any seeds.
• Add the butter to the chilled cream, along with the orange juice and vanilla extract.
• Pour the cream mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until you have a crumbly dough. With your hands, bring the dough together, kneading a few times on a very lightly floured surface until mostly smooth.
• Pat the dough into a rectangle, and cut out scones. Reshape dough as needed and cut. Place the scones on a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet.
• Brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream.
• Bake the scones for about 12-14 minutes, or until the tops and bottoms are slightly golden.
• Allow the scones to mostly cool, and then top with orange icing.

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.

GAIL MONAGHAN'S MINIATURE CREAM SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Stir in the pecans. Pour the cream into the bowl of an electric mixer and with the mixer on low, add the dry mixture and blend until barely combined. Overmixing will yield tough scones.
• Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Roll the dough to 1-inch thickness. Using a 1- to 1-inch cookie cutter, cut out the scones. Place them 1 inch apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Reroll the scraps and cut until all the dough has been used.
• Paint the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Remove from sheet immediately and cool on a rack.
