Used more butter and oj to get the right consistency. I halved the recipe, cut them into triangles and had 6 delicious scones. Used my food processor was very easy. Next time I will top them with cinnamon and sugar and put in more orange zest. I will be making these scones again soon.

Excellent! I did the recommended changes to 5 T. butter and doubling the orange juice and it turned out great! I also didn't have chocolate chips so used coconut instead and will definitely use this recipes again. Thanks!

I had high hopes for these scones. I'd intended to make them for a Valentine themed brunch, but time got away from me and I wasn't able to. As it turns out, that was a blessing. I've made several kinds of scones in the past, and I was concerned when I saw that the recipe didn't call for any cream or eggs. All my other scones were light and almost puffy. These stayed the same size and seemed dense and flavor-less. Like other reviewers, I had to add WAY more OJ to get the dough to come together, probably due to the lack of cream and eggs. I think I ended up using almost 2 cups! I won't be making these again. If anyone is looking for a good scone recipe, try the Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten). You can't go wrong with hers.

Made these and they were delicious, but when does a recipes become a totally different recipe! I mean if you have to add that much more orange juice and butter to even get the dough to form, aren't you making a whole new recipe..I made these without reading the reviews and when I added the OJ I quickly realized there must be a problem. I will use this again, but will "rewrite" it so it can be easily followed.

These are wonderful! I didn't have orange juice so I used milk (I also added more butter). Perfect!

These were incredibly easy to make, although I did have to double the orange juice like many other reviewers mentioned. Warm out of the oven I did not care for these very much, but the next day I thought they were pretty good! Thanks for sharing this recipe Marbalet!

Very very VERY yummy scone recipe. I put 8 Tb of butter and 8 Tb of orange juice to moisten the recipe up a bit. Also added orange zest of half an orange, just like Trina suggested. I rolled the dough to about 1/2" and cut into triangles. Sprinkled a little sugar on top before putting in the oven. My husband and I LOVE them!
