Ingredients

Scones

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments (from 11 oz-can), chopped, drained
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Orange Butter

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 tablespoons orange marmalade

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder and orange peel. Cut in 1/3 cup butter, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Add orange segments, milk and egg; stir with fork just until mixture leaves side of bowl and soft dough forms.
  • 3
    Place dough on floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. On cookie sheet, roll or pat dough into 7-inch round. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Cut into 8 wedges; separate slightly.
  • 4
    Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter until light and fluffy; stir in marmalade. Serve with warm scones.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    When grating orange peel, be sure to grate only the orange part of the skin. The white part, or pith, is very bitter.
  • tip 2
    Like biscuits, scones are small quick breads leavened with baking powder or baking soda. Both biscuits and scones can be sweet or savory.
