Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tbsp orange zest, about the zest of 1 large orange
1/2 cup cubed butter, cold
1 large egg
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp butter, melted
1-1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tsp orange zest (optional--it makes the glaze extra orange-flavored!)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or spray with cooking oil).
Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter (or using a standing mixer) and mix the dough until the butter is about the size of peas, and the dough resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk egg, sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and pat into a 1" thick circle. Cut into 8 triangles. Place scones on parchment lined baking tray, making sure the scones are evenly spaced apart.
Brush the tops of each scone with a little bit of heavy cream, and bake for 15-16 minutes, or until scones are golden brown.
While the scones are cooling, mix together melted butter, powdered sugar (starting with 1 cup), vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest. If the glaze seems too thin, add in the last 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
Pour the glaze over the scones and enjoy!

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
1 cup white vanilla baking chips
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup half-and-half

Steps:

Heat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/2 cup of the baking chips, the orange peel, egg and half-and-half until soft dough forms.
On lightly floured surface, knead dough about 5 seconds or until dough is smooth. Divide dough in half. Pat each half into a round, 1/2 inch thick. Cut each round into 8 wedges.
On ungreased cookie sheet, place wedges 1 inch apart. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool 10 minutes.
Place remaining 1/2 cup baking chips in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal. Microwave on High 1 minute; press bag until chips are smooth. Cut off tiny corner of bag; squeeze to drizzle melted chips over scones. Serve warm or cooled.

Tips:

To ensure light and fluffy scones, make sure to use cold butter and heavy cream. Cold butter creates steam as it bakes, which helps the scones rise.
Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients until they just come together.
Handle the dough as little as possible. The more you handle it, the tougher the scones will be.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
For a crispier scone, brush the tops with milk before baking.
Store leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
