Today has been one of those days when it just won’t stop raining. The kind of day when all you want to do is cuddle up on the couch underneath a blanket and binge-watch netflix while munching on warm freshly baked scones…

Being brought up in New Zealand, it’s fair to say that my boyfriend Nathan has eaten a lot of scones. When we first met over 7 years ago he showed me the difference between what makes a bad scone and a good scone, and since then I’ve been playing with all sorts of flavor combinations to create my favorite.

I must say that this orange date scone comes pretty darn close – light, fluffy, sweet and subtle at the same time, and a sure way to boost your mood!
