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.
