-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups all-purpose flour -- plus extra for
flouring work surface
8 tablespoons unsalted butter -- chilled, cut into small
pieces, plus butter for greasing baking sheet, (1 stick)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt -- or coarse salt
1/2 cup milk -- preferably whole
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream -- plus
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream -- for brushing tops of scones
Preheat the oven to 400F. Lightly flour a work surface. Lightly
butter a baking sheet.
Stir together the flour, sugar, orange zest, baking powder and salt
in a medium-size bowl. Using your fingers, two knives, or a pastry
cutter, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the milk and 1/4 cup cream; using a fork or your fingers toss the
mixture just until combined.
Transfer the mixture to the floured surface and pat it into a 1 1/2"
thick round (it doesn't have to be a neat shape). Use a 2" biscuit
cutter to cut out circles and place them at least 2" apart on the
prepared baking sheet. Collect the scraps, pat them together, and
repeat the cutting process. If there is still a bit of dough left
over, gently shape it into a couple of 2" circles. Brush all of the
scones with the remaining 2 tablespoons cream.
5. Bake the scones until puffed and golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool on
a wire rack, and serve warm or at room temperature.
