2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar (divided)
4 tsp grated orange zest
2 tsp grated lemon zest
1-1/2 tsp grated lime zest
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp cold butter (cubed)
1 large egg (room temperature)
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp butter (melted)
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1-1/2 tsp grated lime zest
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp orange juice

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°. Place flour, 1/4 cup sugar, citrus zest, baking powder and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add cold butter; pulse until butter is the size of peas. Transfer to a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk egg, orange juice and buttermilk until blended; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times. Pat dough into a 6-in. circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar.
Bake 14-18 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Remove scones from oven; immediately brush with glaze. Serve warm.
