I wanted to try a different cream scones recipe instead of my usual Almond cream scones. With lots of oranges in the refrigerator at this moment, orange cream scones sounded like an excellent idea. I have a soft spot for orange cakes, muffins, cookies or any dessert that has a little orange in it. I don't know, the extra citrusy taste just kick it up a notch I guess. In 20 minutes, I have a hot from the oven cream scones waiting for me to savor with my morning cup of coffee.
I adapted this recipe from my Almond cream scones.
Ingredients:
(A)
1 cup plain flour
1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
1/8 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup of mixed raisins & dried pineapple chunks
Zest of one orange
1 tsp. orange essence
(B)
1/2 cup + 1/8 cup heavy cream
Glaze:
Heavy cream
Sugar
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 425'F. Add (A) in a bowl. Mix with a spatula til combined.
2. Add (B) and mix and knead to form a dough. Do not over knead it, just bring it together and form a dough. Flatten the dough into a round shape and cut into eight pieces.
3. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and glaze with cream and sprinkle some sugar on top. Bake for 11-12 minutes.
I love anything orange or lemon as like you said, it adds a citrusy element to the bakes. Anything citrusy should be refreshing, right? I would love to make these for breakfast this morning but lack the cream. How is the texture? Looks good.

ReplyDeleteHi D,
ReplyDeleteI love the texture of cream scones, it's soft and puffy. It's delicious on its own, without any spread. :)
Yes Louisa, should try, my hubby is now hooked on my scones. :D

Hi Amanda,
From the bakes you whipped up in your kitchen. This is nothing at all, you will sure make a delicious scones. Just don't over handle the dough and you will be rewarded. It tastes pretty good, but I like my almond cream scones more. :P
Yes Sweet Jasmine. Love it!
Hey C, made those scones today, the almond ones as didn't have orange essence. Yum! But mine a bit brown on the top as I didn't know the temp of my oven so it took a while to bake. The inside wasn't cooked in 11-15 mins. But it's great. Will do again. Love almond essence. Only two pieces left. Made them for breakkie this morning.
ReplyDeleteHey D, thanks for your feedback! :) I love the almond one better too. Hehehe... It's hard for me to resist almond cream scones, the combination just heavenly. Scones is like a mixed between bread and cake, hard to explain. Glad you like it!
