Orange Cardamom Cream Scones with Orange Glaze

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cardamom and lemon zest.
3. Add the cold butter and rub or cut it in until the largest pieces are the size of peas.
4. In a small bowl, whisk all but about 1 tablespoon of the heavy cream with the egg, the vanilla and half of the orange juice.
5. Pour the cream mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a fork just until a shaggy dough forms.
6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured counter, pat it into a rectangle, fold it in thirds, then pat it into a 6 by 8-inch rectangle about 1 inch thick.
7. Cut the rectangle into 6 squares, then cut each square diagonally to make 12 triangles; set them on the baking sheet and chill for 15 minutes.
8. Brush the tops with the remaining heavy cream and bake 16 to 18 minutes, until golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool the scones on a rack for 15 minutes.
10. Whisk the powdered sugar with the remaining half of the orange juice until smooth, drizzle over the scones and let the glaze set for 10 minutes.
