After making Ree’s Petite Vanilla Bean Scones, I decided to adapt a recipe for my favorite coffee shop scone—the Orange Scone. My favorite scone is also completely glazed. You could add almonds or chocolate chips, but I love them plain.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).
To make the scones, combine the orange juice, buttermilk, egg, and orange zest. Set aside.
Sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture until it comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead gently 5 or 6 times. Pat or roll dough into a rectangle and cut into 24 triangles. Place onto air bake pans, double layered flat cookie sheets, or pans with parchment paper. Bake for approximately 18 minutes. Remove to cooling racks to cool.
To prepare the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and salt until smooth. Adjust sugar/liquid to desired consistency. Dredge completely cooled scones in the glaze and allow to set completely.
