Directions:1. Heat oven to 400. Combine the sugar and orange zest. Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in butter, using a pastry cutter combine until mixture has formed a coarse meal.
2. In another bowl, combine the sour cream and the egg. Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into the flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Using your hand, form dough into a ball and make sure all the dough crumbs are combined into the dough.
3. Place on a lightly floured surface and form into a circle about 7″ wide. Cut into 8 triangles. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake 16-17 minutes.
4. To make the glaze, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. When scones have cooled, spoon glaze evenly over each scone. Let set, then repeat to double-glaze if you have any left. |

Notes: This recipe is more simple than most scone recipes and it's my go to in the summer and also near Christmas! We make them at the inn for guests and they are always a big hit. Call me if you want any tips or tricks! I usually brush mine with heavy cream and add a sprinkle of coarse sugar to the top before putting them in the oven.
Also, a pastry cutter is great to cut in the butter.
