Preparing the Orange Raisin Scone Dough
Preparing the Dough
Get ready to mix and knead the dough to perfection for your Orange Raisin Scones recipe with Amasi and orange juice. Start by combining all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Incorporating Wet Ingredients
Next, create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in a mixture of buttermilk, freshly squeezed orange juice, and orange zest. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Remember, do not overmix – a few lumps are totally okay as they will yield a tender scone.
Baking the Orange Raisin Scones
Let’s bake the scones to a golden perfection with the following easy stages:
Mixing the Dough
Start by preheating the oven to 400°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the raisins and orange zest to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Amasi, orange juice, and vanilla extract.
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
