Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 food processor or blender
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 sharp knife
  • measuring spoons and cups
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 300 grams all purpose flour 2 ½ cups
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoon Local Hive Honey Colorado Honey
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 5 tablespoon butter cold
  • ½ teaspoon baking salt
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 tablespoon orange juice
  • 1 whole egg whisked

Instructions
 

  • Cut the butter into smaller pieces then add to a food processor or small pastry blender with the flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • Blend or pulse until the flour combines with the butter and forms a grainy, sandy texture.
  • Add the flour butter mixture to a medium sized bowl, forming well in the middle. Pour in the honey, heavy cream, orange juice and orange zest.
  • Using a spatula or your hands, fold in the dough to knead until the dough just comes together.
  • Pour out onto a flour-dusted surface and continue to mix at least 5-6 more times until the dough forms.
  • Flatten into a disc and cut into 6 equal triangles. Lay flat onto a baking sheet and chill for up to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400º and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the dough has chilled, place the scones onto the baking sheet then brush with the egg wash.
  • Bake the scones for 20 minutes or until the tops become golden brown. Take out and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
