Oh, well! The dough, once again, was too sticky to form into a disc and cut, so I just freeformed it. I kind of like the free form version because it gives lovely little pieces that stick up...perfect for my favorite act of nibbling! I served these with honey and they turned out great!
Orange Scones
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold butter
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp orange extract
Additional sugar
In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, orange peel and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a bowl, whisk milk and egg. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Lightly spoon dough onto baking stone or greased baking sheet. Top with extra granulated sugar. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!

Free form is better anyway...that way people know you made them with love. :)
Two great scones recipes...my hubby will be happy with either.
I like that they have orange in them. Orange and honey, yes - very good.
Rustic is the way to go with scone and biscuit doughs IMO and these look fabulous! You know..I was never much of a scone person because they always seems a bit dry and I'm not a tea (stereotyping scones lol) person. However, I just may give these a try..they look and sound too good!
