1. Sift together dry ingredients.
2. Cut in softened butter and stir in orange juice. (Less handling of dough makes fluffier scones.)
3. Divide dough into two portions, then pat into rounds 3/4-inch thick, or cut into rounds with floured cookie cutter.
4. Bake 12 to 15 minutes at 400° F.
5. Serve warm with jam and Devonshire cream.
