Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 Tbsp orange zest (about the zest of 1 large orange)
• 1/2 cup cubed butter, cold
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 Tbsp butter, melted
• 1-1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 tsp orange zest (optional--it makes the glaze extra orange-flavored!)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or spray with cooking oil).
• Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter and mix the dough until the butter is about the size of peas and the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl, egg, sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix with dry ingredients, and stir until just combined.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and pat into a 1 thick circle. Cut into 8 triangles.
• Brush the tops of each scone with a little bit of heavy cream, and bake for 15-16 minutes, or until scones are golden brown.
• While the scones are cooling, mix together melted butter, powdered sugar (starting with 1 cup), vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest. If the glaze seems too thin, add in the last 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
• Pour the glaze over the scones and enjoy!
