I love these scones and make them all the time! Very easy and very tasty. I usually omit the glaze and just sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the egg wash. I've also frozen unbaked scones and baked at a later date which works wonderfully as well. Another fabulous recipe from the Barefoot!!

It is snowing here today and Church has been canceled due to the snow. So I'm baking. These scones were very easy to make. In step two, after I put the first 6 ingredients in the mixer, I placed a tea towel over the mixer. This helped stop the flour from flying all over the counter top. I still had some spillage but at least it was contained to the mixer stand. The next thing I did a little different was in step 3. After kneading the dough I divided it in half, rolled each half into a 3/4 inch thick circle. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Then placed them on the parchment paper. After brushing them with the egg wash I sprinkled Turbinado Sugar on top of them and then baked for 20 minutes. They came out nicely browned, very tender yet with a little crunch to them. As Baby Kato said, "with a subtle orange flavour and wonderful tart cranberries"Â? taste to them. The glaze mixture was just the right amount of liquid to form a nice ribbon of glaze over them. The Turbinado Sugar gave the scones a crunch when I took a bite. I also used some Somerdales' Double Devon Cream on the scone, this cream is from England. I think that is all I have to say about these great scones. Expect that I finally got them made for 1-2-3 Hits Wonders 2006 after procrastinating since Nov 17, 2006. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us. Now to try to get a good photo of them before they are gone. My family are circling like vultures . LOL

I loved these tasty scones. They were crisp yet tender, with a subtle orange flavour & wonderful tart cranberries. I ommitted the icing, these were great without.(personel preference) Quick and very easy to make. This morning, I toasted them. Wow! I will be making these again. Thanks so much for sharing cookiedog.

I followed the recipe exactly and these turned out perfectly! I skipped the glaze--I didn't think they needed it. Delightful!

Excellent scone - tender crumb. Used up a little packet of dried cranberries that had been sent me. Next time, (due to unavailability of dried cranberries here), I will chop up some dried apricots to achieve a similar sweet/sour fruit effect. Very good!

These were light and flaky. I liked the orange flavor so I at least doubled the glaze. I might use more cranberries next time. Thanks for sharing!
