By: Kim Lueras

"Yuletide visitors might stop by just for a taste of these moist and tender scones! Chock-full of walnuts and drizzled with orange-peel glaze, they are wonderful with a cup of coffee."

Original Recipe Yield 12 servings

Ingredients

3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 cup cold butter (no substitute)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
GLAZE:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 teaspoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

In a bowl, combine milk and lemon juice; let stand for 2 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, orange peel, baking soda, nutmeg, baking powder, cloves and mace; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add walnuts and milk mixture; stir just until moistened.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times. Divide dough in half. Roll each portion into a 7-in. circle; cut each into six wedges. Separate wedges and place 1-in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 400 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Combine glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over warm scones.
