These scones are a great way to use up leftover oranges. I always have a few oranges on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

These scones are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're worth it. They're so light and fluffy, and the glaze is to die for.

These scones were a bit dry, but the glaze helped to make them more moist. I would recommend adding a little more butter to the dough next time.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really liked these scones. The orange flavor really shines through.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze next time.

These scones were a delight! The coconut glaze added a perfect touch of sweetness and crunch. The orange zest gave them a bright and citrusy flavor. I will definitely be making these again!
