Scones with Citrus Glaze

Scones with Citrus Glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish that will impress your guests. These scones are made with a combination of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, milk, and eggs, and are topped with a tangy citrus glaze that adds a burst of flavor to every bite.

To make Scones with Citrus Glaze, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.
Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut it into 6 wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the scones are baking, make the citrus glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones and serve immediately.
Scones with Citrus Glaze are a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The scones are light and fluffy with a slightly crisp exterior, while the glaze adds a zesty kick that will wake up your taste buds. These scones are perfect for a lazy weekend brunch or a special occasion breakfast.
