Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place four, 1/4 cup sugar, citrus peels, baking powder and salt in food processor; pulse until blended. Add cold butter; pulse until butter is the size of peas. Transfer to a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk egg, orange juice and buttermilk until blended; stir into crum mixture just until moistened.

2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times. Pat dough into a 6-inch circle. Cut into eight wedges. Place the wedges on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp. sugar.

3. Bake 14-18 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Remove scones from oven; immediately brush with glaze. Serve warm.
