ORANGE COCONUT SCONES

These scones have a delicate orange flavor as to not dominate the coconut. If you are looking for a more prominent flavor of orange, add more freshly grated orange zest to the dough and/or be sure to use the orange glaze.

freshly grated orange zest (to taste)

AGGIE'S ORANGE COCONUT SCONES

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons self-rising white flour
Pinch fine sea salt
1 3/4 tablespoons organic sugar, plus 1/4 cup for topping
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for serving
2 eggs
1 cup cold milk, plus 1 tablespoon for glaze
1 large orange, zested
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup fresh coconut, grated
Honey, for serving

Steps:

  • Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Sift the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder into a large bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes and rub it into the flour with your hands. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs, and then add the milk. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix it until just blended. Add 3 teaspoons of orange zest and lightly knead the dough. It is important to keep the kneading to a minimum, or the scones will be hard and as tough as nails.
  • Put the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it to about a 1-inch thickness. Cut the scones with a 2-inch round fluted cutter, as closely as possible to avoid wasting dough. Put them on the prepared baking sheet, about 1-inch apart.
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolk and the remaining milk and brush this over the scone tops. In another bowl, mix the remaining sugar, coconut, and orange zest and sprinkle this evenly over the top of each scone. Bake the scones in the center of the oven until they have risen and are lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Cool the scones on a wire rack and then split them. Serve warm, with butter and honey.

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

cooking spray
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar, divided
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
2 ½ tablespoons orange zest
6 tablespoons orange juice
1 medium egg
1 ½ tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
½ cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
4 teaspoons orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest

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.

  • For a light and fluffy scone, make sure to use cold butter. Grate or dice the butter and work it into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough scones.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the scones hold their shape and rise properly.
  • Bake the scones in a preheated oven. A hot oven will help the scones rise quickly and evenly.
  • Do not overbake the scones. Overbaked scones will be dry and crumbly.
  • Make sure the coconut glaze is thick enough to coat the scones. If the glaze is too thin, it will run off the scones. If the glaze is too thick, it will be difficult to spread.
  • For a citrusy flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest in the scone dough and glaze.

Conclusion

Coconut-glazed orange scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these scones fresh from the oven. These scones are perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a brunch or just enjoying a lazy weekend morning.
