Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh orange zest
- 0.25 cups Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg (large)
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the orange zest to evenly distribute the citrus flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a fork until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick round disk.
Cut the disk into 8 wedge-shaped pieces and arrange them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden around the edges and firm to the touch.
While the scones bake, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the orange glaze over the warm scones.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
