Spiced Rum Orange Scone Butter Recipes

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.

SPICED RUM ORANGE SCONE BUTTER

Steps:

• With an electric mixer, cream all of the ingredients together to a smooth and fluffy consistency.
• Serve on freshly baked scones, biscuits, muffins or croissants. It's also good as a topping for pancakes, crepes, and bagels.
• STORING TIP - If not using immediately, place the spiced butter in an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For easier spreading, let the spiced butter reach room temperature before using.
• SUBSTITUTION - If you don't have any rum extract on hand--or you just want to try something different, try replacing the rum extract with 1-2 tablespoons Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum, Grand Marnier, Triple Sec, Cointreau or other orange liqueur.
