Preparation
Step 1
SCONES: In a large hbowl, sift together 2 cups flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; mix well. Cut in butter with a fork until crumbs form. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg; add to flour mixture. Mix just to incorporate without overworking the dough.
In another bowl, toss berries in remaining four; gently fold berries into batter.
Drop large tablespoons of batter onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until golden. Cool scones on a wire rack. Frizzle or brush Orange Glaze over scones. Let stand until glaze becomes hazy and hardened.
Makes 6-12 scones
ORANGE GLAZE: In a double boiler, combine butter, sugar and enough juice for desired consistency. Cook and stir until thickened; remove from heat. Beat until smooth and slightly cooled.
