I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but these scones were still really good. The orange flavor really shines through.

These scones are a bit too dense for my liking. I prefer a lighter, fluffier scone.

I had some trouble getting the scones to rise properly. I think I may have overmixed the dough.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover oranges. They're also a nice change from traditional scones.
