Orange Blossom-Thyme Scones
- 2 cups (about 8 1/2 oz.) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 cup (4 oz.) cold salted butter, cut into 1/2-in. cubes
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
- 1 cup heavy cream, divided
- Preheat oven to 450u0b0F. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture is crumbly and resembles small peas. Freeze mixture 5 minutes.
- Stir in thyme, orange blossom water, and 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the cream just until dry ingredients are moistened. Place dough on a sheet of wax paper. Gently press dough into a 7-inch round. (Mixture will be crumbly.) Cut round into 8 wedges. Place wedges 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush tops of wedges with remaining 2 tablespoons cream just until moistened. (You may not need all of the cream.)
- Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Brush warm scones with Orange Blossom Glaze.
