Last week I got a cold and, as usual, my taste buds went into hibernation.  

It wasn’t until Sunday that I finally felt confidant that anything I created in my kitchen wouldn’t be some strange disaster of salt and too many eggs.  

I went into my kitchen and stared at my pantry for a good 30 minutes before I decided to try to adapt one of my all time favorite scone recipes.   This is the recipe that won the the heart of my Mother-in-law.

Actually, I’ve learned that the saying “The stomach is the way to a man’s heart” pretty much applies to anyone.  

If you cook them a good meal, they can’t help but think kind thoughts about you.

This is so simple but tasty and seriously pretty darn close to the original.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

    I don’t use Tapioca or Rice flour. Would I just use more almond flour? What would you suggest?

    Oh Kelly, this is my very FAVORITE flavor scone!!!!! I can’t wait to try it! My question is – are you putting the scones into a cold oven or a preheated one? The way it’s written I’m thinking it’s into a cold oven. Thanks so much for your hard work on these recipes and hope you feel 100% better soon!!

    Just made these! Totally delish. I think I might use a little more orange next time but oh so good. I topped mine after the melted orange/honey butter with sliced almonds. 😉 Okay, so they are not like Panera’s but hey! They are healthy, homemade & paleo compliant. I can satisfy my sweet tooth without the guilt. Thank you, thank you!

    Just made these and what makes them is the orange butter glaze on top, you could put that on cardboard and it would be good! I added a teaspoon of orange zest to both the dough batter and the glaze. Made a world of difference in the glaze, the scones themselves still had no detectable orange flavor. My batter was runny and I had to add lots more of almond flour/coconut/tapioca to get it to a dough consistency. Overall, a decent start to a recipe but needs tweaking.

    I made these with fresh lemon juice (its what I had), lemon zest and added 1/4 cup of greek yogurt! I also pulsed in frozen BB and used a biscuit cutter to make rounds and topped them with raw sugar. YUM! I also only used 1 3/4 cup almond flour! Thanks for the recipe I woke up needing a sweet with my coffee and do not like coconut flour texture scones. I have made your pop tarts and those were excellent also. Thanks for taking the time to post:)
