Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 cup frozen chopped rhubarb
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest, divided
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or 200 degrees Celsius. Next, take a baking sheet and cover it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2
In a large bowl, combine flour, white sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Use a pastry blender to break down the butter into small pieces until you have a crumbly mixture that resembles tiny grains.
3
Place the frozen rhubarb into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. In a separate container, whisk together 1 cup of heavy cream, vanilla extract, and the grated zest of an orange. Create a small indentation in the center of the flour mixture and carefully pour the cream mixture into it.
4
Start to mix the dough gently until it's just moistened, but avoid overworking it. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into an 8-inch round circle.
5
Using a sharp knife, cut the round into 8 wedges. Arrange the scones 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
6
Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and sprinkle them with turbinado sugar. Then, bake them in the preheated oven until they're golden brown, taking around 15 to 20 minutes.
7
Once the scones are done baking, transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. While the scones are cooling, mix together powdered sugar, the remaining orange zest, 1 tablespoon of orange juice, and a pinch of kosher salt.
8
Add up to 1/2 tablespoon more orange juice, if needed, until you reach your desired glaze consistency. Drizzle the glaze over warm scones and serve immediately.
