How to make it
- Preheat oven to 400ยบ F.
- Grease a large baking sheet and set aside.
- Soak the sugar cubes in a small bowl with the orange juice and set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, stir the sugar and flour together then cut the butter into the flour mixture until you get a texture like corn meal.
- In another bowl, mix the eggs, coffee, and milk together, then stir it into the dry mixture forming a dough. (It will be soft.)
- Stir in the grated/zested orange rind and walnuts.
- Dust a board with flour, then pat the dough into a round (about one-half-inch thick).
- Slice into pie pieces or use a biscuit cutter and make rounds.
- Place the scones on the baking sheet at least a half-inch apart, as they will rise.
- Put one cube of sugar into the center of each scone.
- Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
- It tastes best warm with orange marmalade and butter, and, of course, a cup of coffee.
- (Note: Walnuts can be mixed with dried fruit or other nuts for additional texture.)
