Spiced Orange Scones

These scones are the perfect snack for morning or afternoon tea! We were lucky enough to be contacted by Ceres Organics AU and they sent us a box of goodies so we converted this delicious scone recipe to Thermomix and it’s awesome. They are a different take on your traditional scones and healthier too.

Makes 12-14 scones.
