    List of Ingredients




    Yields 8 scones

    2 c. all purpose flour
    3 Tbls. sugar
    2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
    2 tsp. grated orange zest
    1/4 c. cold butter or margarine, diced
    1/2 c. drained, chopped mandarin oranges
    1/3 c. skim milk
    1 egg, beaten or egg substitute
    1 egg white, beaten
    1 Tbls. sugar

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat cookie sheet with cooking spray.

    In a large bowl combine flour, 3 Tbls. sugar, baking powder & grated orange zest, mix well. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter or margarine till mixture resembles coarse meal.

    Stir in oranges, milk & egg just till the dough leaves the side of the bowl. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface & knead lightly 10 times.

    Place on a greased cookie sheet & roll or pat dough into an evenly shaped 8 inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges with a sharp knife, separate slightly. Brush with beaten egg white & sprinkle with 1 Tbls. sugar.

    Bake 15-16 minutes or till edges are a light brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet & serve warm.

    Variation: To make Cranberry Orange Scones, stir 1/2 cup chopped, fresh cranberries with the oranges, milk & egg.

    Tip:Serve scones with orange butter:

    In small bowl, beat 1/4 c. butter till light & fluffy. Stir in 1 Tbls. orange marmalade.

    To freeze:
    Cool baked scones completely, then wrap in plastic bags, pressing out as much air as possible. To reheat, spread frozen scones on cookie sheet & heat for about 5 minutes in a preheated 250 degree oven.
