Ingredients

For the scones:

  • Zest of 2 clementines
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg + heavy cream to fill 1 cup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

For the glaze:

  • Juice of 1 clementine about 3 tablespoon
  • Zest of 1 clementine
  • 1 cup powder sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar and clementine zest until the sugar turns orange and fragrant.
  • Add flour, salt and baking powder to the sugar mixture and mix to combine.
  • In a measuring cup, add the egg and enough heavy cream to fill 1 cup. Add vanilla extract and beat to combine.
  • Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour in the liquid mixture, reserving about 1 tablespoon to use as egg wash.
  • Fold with a spatula or wooden spoon until a wet dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board, flour top of dough and your hands, and pat the dough out about ½” thick. Fold the dough over itself and pat it out again, do this about 4 times.
  • Shape the dough into a rectangle and roll it out to about 5”x8” or 6”x9”.
  • Cut the rectangle in half length wise, then cut in three cross wise to make 6 squares. Cut each square diagonally to make 12 triangles.
  • Place the scones on a parchment paper line baking sheet, brush the top and sides with the reserved cream, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle come out clean.
  • Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • To make the glaze, whisk together clementine juice and zest. Slowly add powder sugar while whisking until a creamy orange glaze forms.
  • Drizzle glaze over the cool scones, as much or as little to your taste.
