My first time making scones and these were wonderful! I added more butter and oj (as others suggested) and they turned out wonderful! I recommend them for anyone who'd like a small change on a classic.

This is a SUPERB recipe! I made the suggested changes of adding 8Tb OJ and 8Tb butter and orange zest from 1/2 an orange...and instead of using a biscuit cutter, I just flattened the dough to 3/4" instead of a 1/2" and cut into triangles. I ended up with 8 good sized scones so I increased the baking time by 3-4 minutes. They were awesome tasting- the zest really brings up the orange taste up a notch.

I thought this recipe was really good but I made it again without the chocolate chips and it tasted even better. My husband really liked it, especially with the lemon curd recipe in this Allrecipes. I also used whole wheat flour for half of the flour called for and increased the orange juice like suggested. I added some lemon zest too.

Wonderful scones! Added the extra butter and juice as others suggested. Since many were talking of not having enough of the orange flavor...I used the frozen 'condensed' orange juice and only diluted with a little bit of water (1 can I poured into pitcher and added 1 can water..then measured out what I need for scones before I finished making the juice in the pitcher). Recipe was wonderful. This was my 2nd recipe I tried and will not need to look further. Had just a hint of the orange flavor, but not overpowering for the chocolate chips. My husband and one of my children are VERY picky eaters and the scones were gone before the end of the day. Made again the next day for friends I picked up at the airport from Scotland and they loved them also. They said my fancy scones tasted great although I needed to roll dough a little thicker. Anyone looking for a scone recipe should try this one first, with the added adjustments of butter & juice and to find a way to add a little extra orange flavor like others did or I did. Thanks to all who left suggestions/ratings. So helpful when many people do so. Did I say this recipe was wonderful yet?

Hi! This is the BEST scone recipe! I did as others have suggested and added more butter & more OJ, no specific amount, just until I feel it is the right consistentcy. Instead of using miniature chocolate chips, I took a half cup of regular sized chocolate chips & chopped them up so they were a little chunkier and also there was chocolate shaving mixed into the dough so when they came out of the oven they had a great texture and a bit of style. I also added some toffee bits & they turned out so delicious. I make them fresh every morning for my partner & I.

I've made these scones at least 4 times and they are wonderful. I use about 8 tablespoons of OJ and also add the zest of one orange for extra orange flavor. I just shape by hand rather use a biscuit cutter...I think they look nicer.

Mine turned out a little more like cookies than scones; maybe I did something wrong. But they tasted scrumptious and we gobbled them up pretty quickly!

I didn't have any orange juice, but milk worked great! I definetely needed more than 3 tbsps, and I added more but I'm not sure how much. I just added until it looked about right. I also added a few dashes of cinnamon for the heck of it, but I don't think it makes much difference. I hand-shaped them and I think they were in for 15 minutes instead of 12. When I tasted them they weren't too dry, and I was surprised that my first time making scones didn't turn out badly. Thanks!

I didn't taste them but my husband did and he couldn't taste the orange juice. I had added 8 tablespoons of oj. He really enjoyed them though! I had made them for my little cousins birthday/tea party and they looked perfect when they came out of the toaster oven! Very cute!

Heavenly. Recommend adding orange zest. A pinch of baking soda doesn't hurt either. Taste best warm but heat up very well in a toaster oven. Intend to tinker w/ lemon juice. YUM.

These were great. I didn't have any milk so when I saw this recipe I was glad to see that it didn't call for any. I used more orange juice than the recipe called for to make the dough more manageable. The scones were very rich and flavorful. They reminded me a little of chocolate oranges.

Light, moist and delicious! My kids went crazy for them. I followed others' suggestions and increased the amount of butter to 7 TBSP (actually I used Parkay light margarine and the recipe was still terrific) and I used 8 TBSP of OJ. We will make these again.

This was my first crack at scones, and I picked a winner! Like everyone else, I had to add more oj and butter. I added two extra tbsp. of butter and 8 tbsp. total (maybe a little more) of oj. They were absolutely delicious! My boyfriend loves them too! Thanks!

Quite good.I didn't add more OJ to the mix, but I did add an additional 2 T of butter. I pack and form mine by hand (no pin, no cutter), so the dough is plenty moist for my liking. Try it this way if you like a more traditional (drier - more bisuit than muffin, but not a cookie) scone. They do a wonderful job of soaking up coffee or tea.

I needed an "English" recipe for my 5th graders class, but never expected I'd have to keep making these again and again!!! What a hit. It's Christmas Eve 2002 and I'm on my 4th batch!!! Everyone want's more and they also went out in gift baskets. Add the extra orange juice. I start with 8 T. and usually add a little more.

Good scones! I added a little freshly-grated orange peel and more OJ for moisture. Very good served with orange marmalade. This could become a favorite!

Yummy!! Like everyone else I had to use way more orange juice (I didn't keep track of how much just kept adding until it seemed right). I also used chocolate chunks and it ended up tasting just the chocolate scones at Starbucks. Now I can save my $1.50 and just make them at home - thanks!!!

I absolutely loved these scones! They tasted wonderful. I also added more orange juice (about 8 more tablespoons) because the dough was a little dry. I also added a few more tablespoons of butter. It was very delicious. Thank you Holly!

Very flavorful and sweet compared to many scone recipes I've tried. It's great for the sweet tooth, almost more like a chocolate chip bread than a scone. I used 1/2 c. orange juice and I also mixed an egg with the milk, because the dough was quite dry. Also sprinkled coarse sugar on top. Sweet-crazy coworkers loved it - thanks for the recipe!
