Orange Scented Scones - Sweet Melissa Sundays

Gosh I've been so busy with Pies lately that I've neglected my lovely Sweet Melissa Baking group!

Orange Scented Scones sounded like a lovely easy recipe that couldn't go terribly wrong. Now I did want little scones but the mix was a bit wet and these came out looking a bit more like cookies. I should have added more flour, but was sticking to the recipe (for once!)

If you would like the recipe please visit Robin of Lady Craddock's Bakery

These tasted ok with some lovely Seville Orange Marmalade and whipped chocolate cream, but when it comes to scones, I'll be sticking to Lemonade Scones - can't be beaten for simple, delicious, light, flaky scones.

    These look so cute! I could just take a bundle of them and bring them to class and eat them.

    Lemonade scones? Sounds interesting.

    Sorry they were not your favorite. I enjoyed them and really loved them with jam on top!

    You will have to share this Lemonade scone recipe, I agree with Nina, they sound interesting!

    Hmm, I wonder why your dough was so wet? Too bad these weren't a hit for you, I really loved them. The lemonade scones definitely sound intriguing...

    Thanks for the lovely comments. I should have reduced the cream and added a bit more flour - c'est la vie!
