Tips:

  • To ensure light and fluffy scones, handle the dough as little as possible and avoid over-mixing.
  • Use cold butter for the scones. This will help create a flaky texture.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • For a sweeter scone, add 1/4 cup of sugar to the dry ingredients.
  • To make the glaze, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of orange juice until smooth.
  • If you don't have any orange zest, you can use 1 teaspoon of orange extract instead.
