Provided by Michelle Hoile

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Scone Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
½ cup cold, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 large orange, zested and juiced, divided
1 cup dried cranberries, or more to taste
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup powdered sugar, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Combine flour, butter, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until butter is pea-sized or smaller.

Reserve remaining orange juice for the icing.
  • Place dough on a lightly floured surface and gently roll to a thickness of about 1 inch. Cut dough into 12 triangles with a knife (or use a biscuit cutter for circles) and transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

CRANBERRY ORANGE SCONES

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 55m

Yield 14 to 16 scones

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups plus 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar, plus additional for sprinkling
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
3/4 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
4 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 cup dried cranberries
1 egg beaten with 2 tablespoons water or milk, for egg wash
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
4 teaspoons freshly squeezed orange juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix 4 cups of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, salt and orange zest. Add the cold butter and mix at the lowest speed until the butter is the size of peas. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and, with the mixer on low speed, slowly pour into the flour and butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough will look lumpy! Combine the dried cranberries and 1/4 cup of flour, add to the dough, and mix on low speed until blended.
  • Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it into a ball. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. You should see small bits of butter in the dough. Keep moving the dough on the floured board so it doesn't stick. Flour a 3-inch round plain or fluted cutter and cut circles of dough. Place the scones on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Collect the scraps neatly, roll them out, and cut more circles.
  • Brush the tops of the scones with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the insides are fully baked. The scones will be firm to the touch. Allow the scones to cool for 15 minutes and then whisk together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice, and drizzle over the scones.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients and tools in advance: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and tools ready before you start baking. This will ensure a smooth and efficient baking process.
  • Follow the recipe accurately: Scones can be tricky to get right, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Pay attention to the measurements and instructions to ensure success.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste and texture of your scones. Use fresh fruits, nuts, and spices for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will result in tough scones. Be gentle when mixing the ingredients and stop as soon as the dough comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the scones hold their shape and rise properly. Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the scones in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the scones rise quickly and evenly. Preheat your oven to the desired temperature before baking the scones.
  • Don't overbake the scones: Scones should be baked until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly scones.
