Ingredients
  

  • 2¼ cups all purpose flour (270g)
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ⅓ cup sugar (66g)
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 6 tbsp. cold unsalted butter cut in half inch cubes
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp. orange extract
  • 1 tbsp. zest from one orange
  • ¾ cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tsp. coarse sugar

For the Orange Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3 tbsp. heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp. orange juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
  • Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture, until it resembles small peas.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the yolks, milk, cream, orange extract, and orange zest. Stir it into the flour mixture, just until no streaks of flour are left.
  • Dump the mixture on to a floured board. Add the berries to the dough, and pat it all into a circle about one inch thick. Using a floured knife, cut the circle into eight wedges. Place them on a baking sheet, spaced two inches apart.
  • Brush each wedge lightly with some heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake them for twenty minutes, or until they're light brown.
  • Make the glaze by combining all the ingredients. Use a piping bag to apply to the glaze to the scones. Serve warm.
