    • 1 tablespoon orange zest
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
    • 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
    • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 3 tablespoons orange juice

  1. For the scones: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, orange zest, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter until the mixture forms fine clumps.
