The scones will keep sealed in plastic for about 36 hours. The scones will keep sealed in plastic, refrigerated and reheated for about 96 hours.

2 cups	all purpose flour
1/4 cup	light brown sugar
2 tsp	baking powder
1/2 tsp	salt
2 Tbsp	unsalted butter (softened)
1 tsp	fresh grated orange peel
1/4 cup	orange juice
3/4 cup	non-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup	blueberries
2 Tbsp	non-fat buttermilk
1 Tbsp	light brown sugar

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Sift the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl.

Cut in the softened butter with the tines of a fork or a pastry knife. It is well blended when the mixture is the consistency of coarse corn meal.

Add the orange juice and orange peel slowly while kneading the batter (I use a rubber spatula). Continue kneading while adding the buttermilk. The mixture will become a sticky dough.

Gently fold in the blueberries taking care not to let any burst.

Divide the dough into eight small triangles onto a non-stick cookie sheet.

Mix together the 2 Tbsp. buttermilk and 1 Tbsp. brown sugar and gently wash the tops of the scones. Place in the oven and bake for about 15 - 18 minutes until the tops of the scones are golden.
