Hi Bakers, This might be the best scone you ever had. It’s buttery and tender with a zesty orange flavor and sweet tiny currants in every bite. The easy recipe that takes minutes to mix and only 15 to bake. This is one of my favorite scones to eat and share. Try this for your next Sunday brunch or when you want something flakey and delicious with your cup of coffee. Enjoy~CarolynGluten-Free Orange Currant SconesMakes twelve 2” sconesDRY2 cups Cup4Cup Multipurpose Flour1/2 cup blanched almond flour 1 teaspoon Koda Farms Sweet Rice flour1/2 teaspoon salt1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda4 tablespoons granulated sugar1/2 cup cold butter, cut into chunks2 teaspoons orange zestWET1 large egg2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce1/2 cup buttermilk1/4 cup fresh orange juice1/2 cup dried currants, cherries or cranberriesOptional: cream or egg wash for brushing the tops, large grain sugarPreheat the oven to 400F and place the rack in the middle position. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Add the cold butter and cut into the dry mixture until it resembles crumbs with a few larger bits of butter remaining. Stir in the orange zest. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together leaving out the dried fruit. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until almost combined. Add the currants and continue stirring until just mixed. The dough will be soft but it can be shaped with a bit of care. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured counter and pat it into a circle. The height of the dough should be about 3/4 inch tall. Cut the scones with a 2" cutter and them on a lined cookie sheet. Next, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. The scones will brown better with an egg wash. Bake for about 10-14 minutes or until browned on top and firm in the middle. Cool on a rack and enjoy:)
