This is the first time I have made scones, and they are my favorite that I have eaten so far. We had scones at our wedding, and they were okay. We also had scones for our last anniversary and they seemed super dry.

So I decided to try and make my own and I loved how moist these turned out. The orange zest gave it a really nice taste too. Hope you enjoy!
