Lunch: Coconut-Glazed Orange Scones Recipe

Ingredients

3-3/4 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup cold butter
2 eggs
1 cup plus 1 to 2 tablespoons fat-free milk, divided
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, 1 cup milk and orange peel; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times.
Roll into a 14-in. x 8-in. rectangle. Using a floured pizza cutter, cut widthwise into 2-in. strips, then cut diagonally into 2-in. strips, forming diamond shapes. Place 2 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 400 ° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks.
For glaze, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, coconut extract and enough remaining milk to achieve desired consistency; drizzle over scones. Serve warm.
