• 2 cups cake flour
• 4 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 60 g butter
• 2 tbsp sugar
• Finely grated zest of 1 orange
• 250 ml fresh cream
• 1 tbsp milk, only if needed
• 1 cup icing sugar
• Juice of 1 orange, added gradually
• Extra orange zest (optional)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together, then rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Stir in the sugar and orange zest. Add the cream and only enough milk to form a soft dough.
4. Roll the dough 1–1½ cm thick and cut into rounds with a 6–7 cm cutter.
5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, then cool.
6. Add the orange juice gradually to the icing sugar until the glaze is thick enough to drizzle. Drizzle over the scones and garnish with extra zest if desired.
