Make the orange glaze while the scones are baking. Scones are easy to put together and are really versatile- kind of like cookies (and I love cookies!). This particular batch has cardamom and orange zest in the scones, then I juiced the orange and made a quick glaze (I like things sweet). You could easily leave off the orange glaze, but I like the extra pop of citrus. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.
