  1. This receipe was easy and delicious - and with a simple substitution I made it gluten-free. I substituted the flour for 3/4 cup rice flour and 3/4 cup coconut flour. They didn't look like the picture, but the taste and texture were perfect. I also skipped the egg white wash and make an orange glaze to drizzle once they were out of the oven. Perfect treat with a cup of coffee!!!
     
  2. These were yummy, mild, and disappeared in my house! My food processor was too small, so I used a pastry cutter. It worked out great. So good. :-)
     
  3. Oh, delicious! These scones are nice and easy in the processor and the end result is a soft, moist breakfast treat. Thanks for posting another great recipe, Jessa!
