--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1                     navel oranges
    2               cups  all-purpose flour
    2        tablespoons  granulated sugar
    1         tablespoon  baking powder
       1/2      teaspoon  kosher salt
    6        tablespoons  cold unsalted butter -- cut into small pieces
    1         tablespoon  roughly chopped fresh rosemary
    1              large  egg
       1/2           cup  heavy cream
    1         tablespoon  heavy cream

Heat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Using a 
vegetable peeler, remove 3 strips of zest from the orange. Thinly 
slice the zest.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and 
salt. Add the butter and, using a pastry blender or two knives, cut 
it in until the mixture forms small crumbs. Fold in the zest and 
rosemary. Make a well in the center of the mixture.

In a bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Add to the 
flour mixture and, using a fork, gently stir until incorporated (do 
not overmix). Bring the dough together into a ball.

Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each 
piece into a 5" round. Cut each into 8 wedges, separate, and transfer 
to the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with the remaining 
tablespoon cream. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes.

Yield: 16 scones

Description:
    "Sweet orange and fragrant rosemary give these scones a 
savory-sweet appeal that makes them perfect for serving at any time of day."
