Ingredients
  

Scones

  • 2 cup all purpose flour
  • cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cold, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 cup sour cream

Orange Glaze

  • 1 ½ cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange juice
  • cup milk

Instructions
 

Cinnamon Raisin Scones

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a food processor add the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Pulse 2 or 3 times to combine.
  • Add the butter to the flour mixture and pulse just to combine where you will still have pea sized pieces of butter.
  • Add the sour cream to the butter mixture and again pulse only to combine.
  • Add the raisins and pulse 2 times.
  • On a floured board or counter top, turn out the flour mixture. Using your hands pat the sides and top to make a square about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until centers are done. Remove to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes or so before glazing.

Orange Fondant Glaze

  • Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add the orange juice and begin whisking and adding milk until the mixture is thick but pourable. Using a fork, drizzle large ribbons of glaze over the scones. Allow to set for 5 minutes before serving.
