Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 425F.
- In a medium bowl, place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter. Rub the mixture together with your fingers to break up the butter, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Add the milk slowly, mixing as you add, using enough of the milk to get your dough to come together with no lumps remaining. (Your dough should be quite sticky. If a good consistency is not achieved with the listed amount of milk, continue adding until your dough reaches a good consistency.)
- Spoon the dough out until a well-floured surface. Generously dust the top of the dough and knead the dough 2-3 times to coat it with flour and smooth the surface. Press the dough into a round that is roughly 1 inch thick.
- Using a well-floured cookie cutter, cut the dough into 2 inch circles. (Be sure to press the cookie cutter straight down and up. Twisting the cookie cutter will impact the amount of rise you get on your scones.)
- Place the rounds onto a greased and floured baking sheet. Brush them gently with the egg yolk and milk mixture.
- Bake the scones for 12-15 minutes, until golden and firm.
- Remove the baked scones from the oven and let them cool for 30 minutes (if you can resist). If you like softer scones, cover them with a clean tea towel as they cool.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine Grand Marnier, dried fruit, and orange zest. Allow fruit to plump, at least one hour or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cake flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Transfer one half of the flour mixture to a food processor. Add the butter and pulse several times to combine. Do not over-process; some butter pieces should remain the size of large peas, while others pieces will be smaller.
- Add the contents of the food processor back to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk to combine the cream, egg, and egg yolk. Create a well in the middle of the flour mixture and gradually add the cream mixture. Using a large spatula or wooden spoon, draw the dry ingredients over the wet ingredients, being sure to scrape from the bottom of the bowl to incorporate the dry crumbs. Add the plumped fruit and gently mix. Do not overwork the dough.
- Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface. Pat into a narrow rectangle about 1 inch thick. With the short side facing you, fold rectangle into thirds like a business letter. Turn dough a quarter turn clockwise, so the flap opening faces right, like a book. This is the first turn.
- With a rolling pin or your hands, gently pat into another narrow rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Repeat folding and turning process to complete a second turn.
- Using lightly floured hands, pat dough out into a 1 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Cut out rounds, spaced as closely together as possible, using a floured 2-inch round biscuit cutter. Dough may be rerolled once and additional rounds may be cut out.
- Transfer rounds to prepared baking sheet, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with fine sanding sugar. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes on a wire rack before serving, or serve at room temperature.
