Orange breakfast scones with orange glaze are definitely for the sweet treat lover. And the icing is homemade powdered sugar.
I used to order an orange-glazed orange scone I at a Barnes and Noble cafe in the Midwest.

The interesting thing was, though, the Barnes and Noble Cafes down South didn’t offer the same orange scone, only orange-cranberry. After several years went by, I finally decided to make my own. This orange scone recipe is made with a sugar alternative.

Zest With or Without a Zester
Zest, used in my recipe, gives the orange scone – well, zest. Did you ever wonder how to add it correctly to a recipe? Check out Gabrielle Taylor’s article at Wonder How To Food Hacks on using zest without a zester tool.
This is a zester:
You can order it from Amazon.

The one above and below seem similar and look more like the one I have.
Gotta add some zest to desserts as well as our lives for a brighter perspective – and to enhance our palettes.
Don’t have a zester? Add one to your kitchen utensil collection.
This next one looks quite fancy…
A vegetable peeler works great, too, and is what I’ve used.

Orange Scone with Orange Glaze
A yummy ooey-gooey orange glazed orange scone recipe

Preheat oven to 425°.

-
Bake for 12 minutes.

Place muffins back into the oven and bake for 12 more minutes, checking every 3-4 minutes to be sure they don’t start burning.
Recipe Notes
Check your scones every 3-4 minutes during the second baking time as your oven may vary from mine - and so that they don’t burn. On the other hand, you may want to bake your scones a little longer than the recipe says to so that they have a harder texture.
You may prefer to use regular sugar rather than Truvia.
The cost of the recipe is not much more than $1-$2 if you usually keep the ingredients on hand as I do.
This orange scone recipe is adapted from my Easy Raisin Breakfast Scone recipe. However, the orange one is done a little differently than the raisin scone. It’s because the raisin scones are made without a glaze, unlike the orange scone.
Go enjoy the day. See you back on the KSH blog soon.
