Orange scones

Orange scones are the ultimate pastry perfection and can easily be made at home. This recipe ensures your scone has tender buttery layers and the vanilla cream filling balances out the citrus from the orange zest. Not too sweet, golden, and crunchy on the outside, the pastry is perfect for your evening tea. It also works well with vanilla ice cream as a dessert after dinner.
