Orange Scones With Orange Glaze - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    cooking spray
    1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons white sugar, divided
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
    2 1/2 tablespoons orange zest
    6 tablespoons orange juice
    1 medium egg
    1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
    1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
    Glaze:
    1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
    2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
    4 teaspoons orange juice
    1 tablespoon orange zest
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with cooking spray.
    Mix flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter. Mix in orange zest.
    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Whisk orange juice, egg, and vinegar together and pour into the flour mixture. Stir until moistened and sticky.
    Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead gently about 10 times. Pat into a 6x8-inch rectangle. Cut rectangle into 4 squares; cut each square diagonally into 8 triangles. Arrange scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
    Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
    Make the orange glaze while the scones are baking. Mix 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and orange juice until thick and smooth; glaze should drip slowly off the back of a spoon. Mix in orange zest.
    Dunk warm scones in the glaze to fully coat the tops. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
