Cooking Instructions
- 1
Adjust your oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine sugar and Orange zest; mixing with your fingertips until the sugar is moistened and fragrant. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then add this to the moistened sugar and mix until combined.
- 3
Grate frozen butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box greater; use your fingers to work in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- 4
In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream and egg until smooth.
- 5
Using a fork, stir in sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press dough against the bowl into a ball. The dough will be sticky at first, but as you keep pressing, the dough will come together. Just be careful not to overwork the dough.
- 6
Place dough on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7 in circle about 3/4 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15-17 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and prepare the glaze.
- 7
In a medium bowl, prepare the glaze by mixing together the melted butter, confectioners sugar, vanilla and Orange juice. Whisk until smooth. Dip the top of the scones into the glaze and allow the glaze to harden. You can either leave them as is or double dip them. When I made dipped mine once it left a thick glaze on top so I didn't have to double dip mine.

These scones store well in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Cranberry & Orange Scones Cranberry & Orange Scones
This is one of my favorite variations of scone recipes. You can use lemon instead of orange and it will taste great.You can use 2 cups of flour instead of bran. Or use 1/2 all-purpose flour and 1/2 whole wheat flour. Or use only all-purpose flour too! The dough is really sticky, so when lining the dough on the baking pan, use a cake server. For 8 scones.

Scones Scones
I aimed to emulate KFC's biscuits (scones), and after a lot of trial and error this is the recipe I've settled on. In the end they are different from the KFC version, but it's simpler and easier to eat than the version I was aiming for.When you get used to making these, you can make the dough while the oven is heating up. The important points are as follows: Make sure the butter doesn't melt, and to just work quickly. If you chill the butter and the floury ingredients in the refrigerator beforehand, they'll be easier to work with. Don't knead the dough. The scones will become heavy, and won't split easily. If the dough becomes too soft, chill it in the refrigerator before proceeding. Recipe by Yukiline -

Scones Scones
The scones I had at a café were just too delicious that I became addicted. Since I like a simple taste that goes with jam and cream, I made these soft and fluffy with no sweetness.I used a half-amount of chocolate chips, 30 g. Jam tablets are also delicious.I use good flour when making scones. This time I used dolce.I think they're best when warm, so if they cool, please heat them in a microwave or toaster oven before eating. Recipe by nyonta -
Scones Scones
I made my own versions of a recipe I saw in a magazine a while ago. I tried adding yogurt and other ingredients, but settled on this.In step 3, make sure you mix until the dough is crumbly. If you are using a cup to cut out the pieces, the dough will expand nicely if you use a cup with a thin rim. Recipe by lov_sweets -
Basic Scones Basic Scones
I modified a scone recipe that I fond in an old English cookbook to use cake flour instead of whole wheat flour. I know it off by heart but thought I'd make a note anyway. (I combined this recipe with the old "Earl Grey Scones" recipe that I had already uploaded).Due to using vegetable oil and allowing the dough to sit in a warm place, these scones have a moist, fluffy, and soft finish. Adjust the baking time depending on your type of oven. You can eat these the day after you've made them by either popping them in the toaster oven or heating them up for 10 seconds in the microwave.

Berry Scones Berry Scones
This is my base recipe for scones. You can mix in whatever berries you want and there is a lot of room for trying out new things. There are a couple keys steps. First is to use frozen grated butter. The second is to use frozen berries or mix ins. Keeping your dough cold is important as it will stop over spreading during baking and give you amazing flakey scones.

Chocolate Scones Chocolate Scones
I added just chocolate to the"Soft Scones" ‾m‾)o.This recipe is more like snacks, so the amount is half of the "Soft Scones" recipe.Do not over knead . Adjust the baking time and temperature on your oven. I could not find any differences in taste between the dough that was left to rest before baking and the dough that wasn't. So I eliminated that step . For about 6 to 8 small sized scones. Recipe by Lesser Panda
