For best results, ensure your butter is very cold. This will help create a flakier scone. Feel free to experiment with other nuts like pecans or almonds. If you don't have orange extract, you can substitute with an additional teaspoon of orange zest. These scones are best enjoyed warm, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a low oven for a few minutes to restore their texture.
