DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, orange peel and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a bowl, whisk milk and egg. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in oranges.

3. Separate wedges and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, beat butter and marmalade until fluffy. Serve with warm scones.
