Great recipe, too bad I didn't read it through before I started, because I didn't realize that they are drop and I threw the dough out onto the counter...a little messy. Anyway, I dropped them onto a heated Pampered chef stone, they only took 15 minutes to bake to a lovely golden brown. Sprinkled them with a little raw sugar...very light and tasty. More like a muffin than a scone, in my opinion. Delicious, though.

Delicious! I love the simplicity of this recipe. I didn't have orange juice, so I substituted peach/mango juice with a splash of lemon juice. Turned out great!
