How to Make Zuni Caf Scones My Version

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the dried fruit and orange zest.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and orange blossom water.
  6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently form the dough into two balls.
  8. Pat each ball into a 6- to 7-inch disk. Roll out to 3/4-inch thickness.
  9. Cut each disk into 8 wedges.
  10. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
  11. Sprinkle the scones with raw sugar.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  13. Let cool slightly on the baking sheets before serving warm with butter and your favorite beverage.
