Scones So Easy, You’ll Think You Forgot Something (You Didn’t)

Let’s be honest: scones have always had a bit of a “fancy tea party with a pinky up” vibe. But these 4-ingredient orange scones? They’re here to crash that party in sweatpants.

That’s right—FOUR ingredients. No butter-chilling, no flour-sifting, no stress. Just flour, yogurt, orange juice, and zest. You mix it, shape it, bake it, and suddenly you’re the kind of person who “whips up scones” on a weekday. Who even are you?

They’re citrusy, tender, and just sweet enough to trick your brain into thinking you’re at a charming countryside B&B, instead of standing in your kitchen eating one straight off the tray like a wild animal.

Feeling extra? Drizzle on a little orange glaze and boom—you’ve crossed into brunch legend territory.

And the best part? These scones don’t require you to own a pastry cutter or even know what that is. No chill time. No drama. Just warm, zesty goodness in under 20 minutes.

So go on—make these scones. Impress no one but yourself. And maybe your dog. He knows greatness when he smells it.
