Serves:

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1/2 cup fresh tangerine juice
1 tbsp tangerine zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut in the chilled butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together tangerine juice, zest, vanilla extract, and egg.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together, about 5-6 times.
Pat or roll dough into a circle that’s about 1 inch thick and cut into 8 equal wedges.
Transfer scones to prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve warm with your favorite jam or butter.
