Orange scones are a delightful treat that perfectly blend the tangy flavor of orange with the rich, buttery goodness of traditional scones. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack, these scones are both easy to make and delicious to eat. Whether you're an experienced baker or just starting out, this recipe will guide you through creating perfectly fluffy and flavorful scones.
- For a more intense orange flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of orange zest to the dough.
- Ensure that the butter is cold before mixing it with the dry ingredients; this helps achieve the desired flakiness in the scones.
- Don't over-mix the dough; mix until just combined to keep the scones light and fluffy.
- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by combining 3 cups (450g) of all-purpose flour with 4 1/2 teaspoons (22.5g) of baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon (4.5g) of salt.
- For an added touch, you can brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle some additional powdered sugar before baking for a golden, sweet crust.
- These scones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days. If they start to get dry, a few seconds in the microwave or a warm oven can help refresh them.
There you have it - beautifully baked orange scones that are perfect for any occasion. Serve them warm with a pat of butter, a drizzle of honey, or simply enjoy them on their own. These scones are sure to be a hit with family and friends, leaving everyone craving for more. Happy baking!
