Glazed Orange Scones

March 8, 2014- Meet Our Guest Bloggers, Orange Standard

 

A post from our customer and new guest blogger Corissa:

A little bit about me: Corissa is a twenty something wife and mother to two little munchkins.  She enjoys preparing meals using whole foods, so that her family benefits from all that God created food to be- nourishing! She also loves to travel, play board games, and go on fun dates with her husband.

Glazed Orange Scones

Monday’s are mine and the kids stay-in-our-pajamas-until-noon day.  We dont get up and get dressed right away.  We don’t make our beds. Sometimes (ok, always) we don’t even brush our teeth until after lunch. We cuddle in bed and read books. We play grocery store, making sure to have pretend ice cream before breakfast. We watch some PBS kids. And, we spend time in the kitchen. Little Diva is only 2 months old, but she sits in her swing and watches her big brother and I whip up something fabulous. And today, it was scones.

 

Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1/2 cup organic sugar
5 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
zest of a large orange (about 3 t, and dont throw away the orange, you need the juice for the glaze!)
3/4 cup butter
1 egg
3/4 cup half and half or milk

 

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and zest in a large bowl.
Cut cold butter into dry ingredients.
Beat egg and half and half in a smaller bowl.
Add egg mixture to large bowl until a dough forms.
Lightly knead dough on floured surface or wax paper, adding flour until dough is easy to work with. I added about 1/2 cup more.
Roll dough into 1/2 inch thickness and form into a circular shape (Should look like a pizza). Cut into 8 pieces, like you would slice a pizza. I even use a pizza slicer to cut it 🙂
Place on lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 15-17 min.

 

Now for the glaze:

1 cup of organic confectioner’s sugar

Juice of one orange

In a small bowl, mix sugar and juice from half of the orange.  Slowly add juice from other half. You want the consistency to still be thick, but to where it drips off the spoon on to the warm scone. Yum.  Once the scone comes out of the oven, let cool for a minute, and then cover with glaze.

Every thirty seconds of them baking, my son would ask me if he could have a little bite. He was delighted to find out that I would share a whole piece with him after they had begun to cool and the glaze had hardened a bit. When he finished his half, he exclaimed “Mom, need more” in the sweetest two year old voice ever. Like as if he would just shrivel up if he couldnt have more scone. So, I gave him more. It is Monday, right 😉
