These scones have a very subtle flavor. My family enjoyed them, but we all agreed that they need more orange flavor, since it was almost undetectable. I would like to make these again and try replacing a bunch of the buttermilk with orange juice. This is a great base recipe, I just feel like it needs a little something else!
