When you’re out and about in the coffee shops, it’s not often you’ll spot orange scones. It’s a unique flavor for a scone. Now you can bake them at home!
This scones batter has canned mandarin oranges mixed in. So when you take a bite you’ll get a chunk of one of those delicious little mandarin oranges. Everyone loves those, right?
This recipe makes 14 mini scones. Mini scones are perfect for snacking, and they are a good addition to breakfast without being too heavy. Sometimes eating a traditional, larger sized scone just feels like too much.
These Orange Scones are plain and simple scones on their own. But the recipe below will show you how to make a simple orange butter to serve with them.
The orange butter is super simple- made with just two ingredients. It’s a combination of butter and orange marmalade. And it’s the perfect pairing with the warm orange scones.
