Ingredients
  

Scones

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • 6 oz pina colada yogurt (or orange or vanilla)
  • 1 Tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate thawed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp orange zest

Orange Glaze

  • ⅔ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp orange juice approximately
  • ¼ tsp orange zest
  • 3 Tbsp toasted coconut

Instructions
 

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter until crumbly.
  • Mix the yogurt, egg, and orange zest and add to the dry ingredients. Mix lightly till just combined.
  • Pat dough out on a lightly floured surface into an 8-10″ circle. Cut into 6 wedges.
  • Place scones about an inch apart on baking sheet lined with silpat or sprayed with non-stick spray.
  • Bake at 400° for 13-15 minutes or till lightly browned.
  • For glaze: Mix powdered sugar, orange juice, and zest till smooth. Drizzle over warm scones and sprinkle with toasted coconut.

Notes

  • I often replace 3/4 cup of the flour with whole wheat flour, and they are still fantastic.
  • If you can't find pina colada yogurt, you can use orange cream yogurt.
  • In a pinch, orange juice can be used in place of the orange juice concentrate.
