Let's Get Started

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the orange zest.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, heavy cream, and egg.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  7. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
  8. Shape the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
  9. Using a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 8 wedges or rounds.
  10. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack.
  12. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
