Editorial Notes
The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe. They're offered for convenience, alternative ideas, and points of interest. If you have any comments about them, please post in the Help & Ideas forum.
- When selecting butter for this recipe, make sure it is cold and cut into bits for the flakiest texture.
- For the orange juice, be careful not to add too much or the scones may burn easily.
- Replace the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a more nutritious scone. Whole wheat flour is higher in fiber and other essential nutrients, making this a healthier option than all-purpose flour.
- Replace the butter with coconut oil for a vegan scone. Coconut oil is a plant-based alternative to butter, making the scones suitable for a vegan diet.
Cranberry Orange Scones Replace the chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of dried cranberries and increase the orange juice to 1/4 cup.
Orange Marmalade Butter: This sweet and tangy orange marmalade butter is the perfect accompaniment to Sarah Ferguson's Chocolate Chip Scones.
