Cinnamon Bun Scones

By WheretheMagicHappens

This recipe comes from Quaker Oats.

They have a nice orange glaze drizzled over them that really adds a great touch!

Note: If scones are too warm, most of the glaze drips off. I pour about half of the mixture over when warm and then wait until they are a little cooler and then pour on the rest of the glaze.

Make sure you have a piece of wax paper or another pan under to catch the drips!
