Best Orange Breakfast Scones Recipes

ORANGE SCONES WITH ORANGE GLAZE

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.

ORANGE BREAKFAST SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F; combine flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and orange peel in large bowl.
• Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in Mandarin oranges and cranberries.
• Combine sour cream, egg, extracts and orange juice in small bowl; beat with wire whisk until smooth; stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until well mixed. (Mixture will be dry seeming.)
• Spread into greased 9-inch round cake pan & sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and scone is lightly browned.
• Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan then cut into wedges.

CRANBERRY ORANGE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix 4 cups of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, salt and orange zest. Add the cold butter and mix at the lowest speed until the butter is the size of peas. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and, with the mixer on low speed, slowly pour into the flour and butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough will look lumpy! Combine the dried cranberries and 1/4 cup of flour, add to the dough, and mix on low speed until blended.
• Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it into a ball. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. You should see small bits of butter in the dough. Keep moving the dough on the floured board so it doesn't stick. Flour a 3-inch round plain or fluted cutter and cut circles of dough. Place the scones on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Collect the scraps neatly, roll them out, and cut more circles.
• Brush the tops of the scones with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the insides are fully baked. The scones will be firm to the touch. Allow the scones to cool for 15 minutes and then whisk together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice, and drizzle over the scones.
