Coconut-Glazed Orange Scones
- 3-3/4 cups self-rising flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plus 1 to 2 tablespoons fat-free milk, divided
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, 1 cup milk and orange zest; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times.
- Roll into a 14x8-in. rectangle. Using a floured pizza cutter, cut widthwise into 2-in. strips, then cut diagonally into 2-in. strips, forming diamond shapes. Place 2 in. apart on
- coated with cooking spray.
- Bake at 400u0b0 for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks.
- For glaze, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, coconut extract and enough remaining milk to achieve desired consistency; drizzle over scones. Serve warm.
