I found this recipe on Christina's blog at Christina Cooks. I had never made a scone before, and to show just how clueless I am, I've spent most of my life thinking that scones were fried bread! However, they're more like a sweet biscuit, and these were DELICIOUS! I made them Easter morning with a side of strawberries, and my little family of 4 ate the entire batch that day. I loved the subtle flavor of orange with the orange flavored butter. Huge shout out to Christina for posting this recipe, go check it out!
So glad you liked them! Your picture is great... makes me want a scone right now!
