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.
