Scones
2 12 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
12 teaspoon baking soda
14 teaspoon salt
12 cup cold Land O Lakes® Butter, cut into 8 chunks
12 cup sugar
12 cup currants
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1 cup sour cream
1 large Land O Lakes® Egg, separated
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons sugar
Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
2 to 4 teaspoons orange juice
STEP 1
Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 2
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
STEP 3
Combine 1/2 cup sugar, currants and lemon zest in another bowl. Stir into flour mixture.
STEP 4
Combine sour cream, egg yolk and water in bowl with whisk until smooth. Stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture. (Mixture will be dry.)
STEP 5
Turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead about 8 to 10 times to combine all ingredients.
STEP 6
Divide dough in half. Pat each half into 8x6-inch (about 1/2 inch thick) rectangle on 2 large greased baking sheets. Cut each rectangle into 12 (2-inch) squares. Do not separate dough squares.
STEP 7
Beat egg white in bowl with fork until frothy. Brush tops of scone dough with egg white; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 10 minutes.
STEP 8
Combine all glaze ingredients in bowl, adding enough orange juice for desired glazing consistency. Drizzle over warm scones. Serve immediately.
Dress the glaze up by replacing the orange juice with milk and adding 1/2 teaspoon anise extract.
