I love these Scones. Not heavy like most. Mine had a very light consistancy to them. The hint of orange was not over whelming. Great Scones!!

These scones were fantastic! Better than what you get at coffee shops or in supermarkets. I love scones and am kind of a scone snob. These were great. I admit I didn''t follow the recipe 100%. I doubled it for the number of guests we had and after wedging the dough, I did pull them apart slightly to make sure they got done. This may not have been necessary?? I wound up cooking them for about 17 minutes. You could probably substitute the orange peel for blueberries or your favorite filler. I will make these again (and again).
