Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Use fresh orange zest for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried orange zest.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help the scones rise properly.
Bake the scones in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
Serve the scones warm with butter and jam.
