Very tasty scone. When I've made them I put a few more chocolate chips, my husband is a chocolate nut. Also, I add a little more OJ than the recipe says, otherwise the dough is too dry and doesn't form well. Super easy to make and delicious.

I'd never made scones before but this recipe was easy and delicious! They seemed to be a little more moist than the scones I've eaten before...and I loved that! Thanks so much for the recipe.

A very nice recipe with just a few small problems. I did have to add more orange juice like many others, and I found that the finished scones still had a slight flour texture and flavor.

I changed a few things, like recommended, and they turned out wonderfully! I used a heart-shaped cookie cutter because I don't have anything to cut out scones, and they looked so cute!

Since Grandma Johnson's Scones contain both sour cream and butter and seem to be the best reviewed recipe for scones, I decided to add 4-5 tablespoons of sour cream to this recipe. The verdict: outstandingly chewy, moist but flaky scones! I think sour cream is the secret ingredient to getting that perfect scone texture. Because I hate a rock-hard dry scone. Another reason I wanted to use sour cream is because I had no orange juice on hand, so this allowed me to keep the tang that the OJ would have probably brought.

I've made these a few times, and each time they are really good. I've had to add a bit more liquid to get the dough to a good consistency. I found that with the amount listed, it was still extremely powdery. But they are great otherwise. I've also made them with white chocolate chips, which were delicious!

I love love love love this recipe. I've used it twice [it's in the oven now, yay]. The texture is perfect, the taste is irresistible, and one good thing is that all of the ingredients are in my kitchen! I don't need to leave my house to buy sour cream. The only thing I did was instead of 3 tbs of OJ, I ended up using 6-7 tbs to get the right dough. Nevertheless, the best!!!

These delicious scones were so quick easy to make yet they don't taste "simple." I agree with other reviewers who added more than 3 T of orange juice. I didn't measure, but I added at least twice that amount until I got a nice dough. A new favorite recipe!!!

Try the Simple Scones recipe from this web site and substitute mini-choc-chips for the raisins. It's much better and does not require changes to the recipe. To make this one easier, just cut into wedges and bake in a pie shape.

This is so easy to make. The first time I made them they were a bit too hard, and I like my scones a bit fluffier, but not like a muffin. I guess somewhere in between. The revisions I made was used 1 stick of butter, 1/3 cup orange juice, 2 TBLSP of milk, 1 tsp vanilla, and the zest of half an orange. I always make this when I get cravings!

These were VERY good! The closest thing I have gotton to bakery/Starbucks scones! As others have said, you have to at least double the amount of OJ to get a good dough..I just kept adding a bit at a time till it was right. I think next time I might sprinkle a little sugar on top when they come out for just a tad extra sweetness!

There were so many good reviews for these, that I thought I'd try them for company. I made them twice, once following recipe and second time using advice to add more oj. Don't know what I did wrong, but they were terrible both times. It's a scone mix for the company tomorrow.

Very good scones. They were a little denser than desired, but that was likely because I didn't read many reviews before making and as such didn't have enough extra orange juice. Instead of cutting the butter in, I had some frozen butter that I grated into the dry ingredients using the larger holes on a box grater. I then stirred in 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips, 1 tsp orange zest, and 1/3 cup OJ. I ended up having to add almost another 1/3 cup water (I ran out of oranges!), so the dough got stirred more than I would have liked. I flattened it to about a 9" circle and cut it into 12 wedges. 13 minutes later, awesome scones. Next time, I'll add a bit more butter and definitely more liquid. Thanks for sharing, Marbalet! :)

I can't bake to save my life and these turned out great! I used 6 Tbsp of butter and probably 4 Tbsp of OJ. Didn't roll them or shape them, just dropped in clumps on the pan.

This was my first time to make scones. These are very good and easy. Glad to see others added more liquid than just the 3T orange juice. I kept adding milk as I had used squeezed orange juice and was out of oranges. I also used Splenda instead of sugar. I couldn't tell the difference. I will make these again.

To be fair, I only used the base recipe and a few hints from others. I used 8 tbsp butter, 2 oz o.j., 2 or 3 oz half and half, 1 tsp orange zest, 1/3 cup rehydrated dried cranberries & 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (I don't like chocolate & orange together). I sprinkled them lightly with sugar before baking. I don't know when I have had a better scone! Thank you for the inspiration!
