Citrus Scones

Delicious scones from Colorado Collage. Easy, receives compliments and has "Freeze Queen" stamp of approval. I am having a bridal shower in May and these are on the menu.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour
• 1/3 cup sugar (plus 1 tablespoon for topping)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (chilled, cut into 1/-inch pieces)
• 1 cup lemon yogurt ( I used Greek Gods brand)
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 teaspoons orange zest

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Grease a 9-inch round or square glass baking pan.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut butter into flour mixture with a fork. Dough will be lumpy. 

Add the yogurt, orange juice and orange zest. Stir to combine.

With floured hands, pat dough into prepared pan. Using sharp, floured knife, deeply score top of the dough into 3-inch squares. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and cool in baking pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely on a rack.
