ORANGE CRANBERRY CREAM SCONES
This is a light and flavorful scone. I was never a big scone eater because the ones I have had were like hockey pucks. This one changed my mind. The tricks are to NOT overwork the dough and NOT to over cook them. These are easy to throw together and taste out of this world.

Tips:
- Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges provide the best flavor and aroma for your scones.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them. This will help to release the essential oils from the peel, which will give your scones a more intense orange flavor.
- Use buttermilk instead of milk. Buttermilk will give your scones a slightly tangy flavor and a more tender crumb.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the scones to rise more evenly.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve the scones warm with your favorite spread. Orange marmalade, clotted cream, or whipped cream are all delicious options.
