Ingredients | Aa Magazine Online

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

Directions

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.

If you like less orange flavor, add less zest. If you want more orange flavor, add more.
