This version of raisin scones really does remind me of growing up here in Newfoundland. Raisin tea buns were a specialty of many bakers in my extended family but raisin wasn\u2019t the only popular version. <\/span><\/p>\n

My mother made orange tea buns and coconut tea buns as well, and they can still be often found in her freezer to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently I saw a cherry scone on Pinterest that had a vanilla glaze on it. I remember thinking they looked particularly tempting. <\/span><\/p>\n

I had never glazed tea buns or scones before. However, for occasions like birthday brunches or holiday breakfasts, they would make extra special additions to the table.<\/span><\/p>\n

I set out to fancify plain old raisin scones. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tangelos, the inspiration for Orange Raisin Scones<\/span><\/h3>\n

Try different types of citrus in this recipe too, like lemon, lime or clementines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

My inspiration came from the last 2 bright orange tangelos in the fridge, which since childhood have been a favourite citrus fruit. I used all of the zest of one of them in the scone dough and in the glaze as well to pack plenty of orange flavour into these delicious scones.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve used sultanas here but I\u00a0 like golden raisins in this recipe too. Any other raisin or even currents work well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Once finished and photos taken, I gobbled one straight down; they were amazing! Spouse resisted.<\/span><\/p>\n

She even refused a bite of mine, but after a few minutes was tempted to break off a corner of one to try it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026and then another, and then a small piece from the centre and then\u2026well, I think we all know how this story ends. 5 minutes later not a crumb of the scone could be found. They really are very irresistible.<\/span><\/p>\n

If raisins are not your thing, these scones pack enough orange flavour to stand up all on their own. I\u2019ll admit that I packed quite a number of raisins into this batch because I love them but they could easily do with half the amount if you prefer less. <\/span><\/p>\n

Give these a try for early morning weekend baking; they\u2019d make a great start to anyone\u2019s day.<\/span><\/p>\n
