Fresh cream scones with orange zest & orange glaze icing
This recipe is a trusted family recipe, which I have adapted with the
addition of the orange zest and the glaze. My mommy and aunt are
famous for their fresh cream scones (yes! Fresh cream!).
- Sift 2 cups of flour with
- 4 tsp baking powder, dash of salt.
- Rub in 60g butter (breadcrumbs consistency)
- Add 2tbl sugar, zest of 1 orange - only the orange bits, not the white,
- 250ml fresh cream (and some milk - 1tbl to clean the fresh cream container)
Dough well and roll to 1/1 and a half cm and shape using a 6/7 cutter.
Bake for 12 mins on 180 degrees. Allow to cool.
Make an icing with 1 cup icing sugar and the juice of one orange.
Add more or less of either until you get a thick drizzling
consistency. Pour over but do it on a drip tray. Collect the bits at
the bottom and drizzle again.
Grate more zest and grind the 'elements of spice' citrus sugar over.
