Ingredients

  • Scones
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour + ¼ c. for work surface
  • 3 t. baking powder
  • ½ c. granulated sugar
  • ¼ t. salt
  • ½ c. cold unsalted butter
  • ½ c. heavy cream
  • ¼ c. sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 t. vanilla extract
  • ¼ t. orange extract
  • 1 t. orange zest preferably organic
  • 1 c. craisins
  • Glaze
  • 2/3 c. powdered sugar
  • 1-2 T. fresh orange juice

Instructions

  • 1.   Line a large, rimmed baking parchment paper or a Silpat®
    baking mat. Set aside.   
  • 2.   Mix two cups flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a
    large mixing bowl. Cut in butter with fork until butter is in pea-sized pieces.

    3.   In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream, sour cream,
    egg, vanilla extract, orange extract, and orange zest. Whisk to combine.
  • 4.   Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just
    until combined. Add in the craisins and stir until just mixed.
  • 5.   Sprinkle ¼ cup of flour onto a clean work surface. Transfer
    scone batter onto floured surface and lightly knead into a ball. Press the
    dough down into a ½” high rectangle (approximately 6” x 10”). Cut in half
    lengthwise, and then each half into 3 rectangles. Then, cut each rectangle
    diagonally to create triangle-shaped pieces.
  • 6.   Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, leaving
    1-2” between them. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • 7.   Pre-heat oven to 400°F, then add the
    baking sheet to oven when ready. Bake the scones for 18-22 minutes, or
    until they are nicely golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and
    cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • 8.   While the scones are cooling, prepare the orange glaze by
    stirring the powdered sugar and orange juice together in a small bowl until
    thoroughly combined.
  • 9.    Serve the scones warm
    drizzled with some of the orange glaze on top. Enjoy!
