Orange Buttermilk Scones

Preheat the oven to 200ºC (about 390ºF) and line a baking tray. Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, zest and butter in a large bowl. Place the juice and buttermilk in a jug and mix with a fork. Rub the butter into the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs. You can also use the beaters of your hand mixer; I do this, it saves a lot of time and messy fingers.

Add in the buttermilk mixture and, using dough hooks, mix until a soft dough is formed. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and roll it out until it’s about 1/2-inch thick. Using a 6-7cm cookie cutter, cut out the scones and then place them on your lined baking tray.

Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes until risen and golden brown. Leave to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Will keep at room temperature for 4-5 days.
