Weekends are a great time to come together as a family and enjoy a leisurely breakfast all together.  Here is an extra special recipe to prepare for breakfast or brunch.  This orange scone recipe is delicious prepared as a stand alone or for a more hearty breakfast, you can prepare eggs and bacon to go along with it. These orange scones are featured in Elizabeth Stone‘s new cookbook, An Invitation to Entertain: Recipes for Gracious Parties and I am thankful to Bright Sky Press for their permission to reprint it here.

Yields 12 scones

Ingredients for Orange Scones:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 T baking powder
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 T orange zest

How To Make Orange Scones:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Combine the flour, baking powder and sugar in a food processor.  Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Remove the mixture from the food processor and place in a bowl. Stir the heavy cream and orange zest into the mixture and keep stirring until the mixture is moistened. Knead the mixture on a lightly floured surface about 5-6 times.

Roll to a 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a round cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

OR separate the dough into two balls. Roll each to 1/2 inch thickness and then slice each six ways if you prefer triangular shaped scones.

These delicious orange scones are great served with whip cream as I did above with a few dried currants sprinkled on top of the whipped cream for extra yumminess. They are also great served with an Orange Glaze or Orange Butter if you prefer.

  • ¼ cup orange marmalade

In a small mixing bowl, mix together butter and marmalade, using a fork. Blend well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

  •  1/8 cup orange juice
  •  1 tbsp orange zest

  • 1 tsp orange zest
