  • Zest the Oranges Finely: Finely zesting the oranges ensures that you get the maximum flavor and aroma from the orange peel. Use a microplane grater or a fine grater to zest the oranges.
  • Use Cold Butter: Cold butter is essential for creating flaky scones. Cut the butter into small pieces and keep it chilled until ready to use.
  • Do Not Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough will result in tough scones. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, and avoid over-kneading.
  • Chill the Dough Before Baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps to firm up the butter and create more flaky layers. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
