Orange marmalade and fragrant basil give these delightful scones a slightly sweet, garden-fresh flavor. They’re tender and moist and perfect with morning or afternoon tea. —Hannah Wallace, Wenatchee, Washington

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold butter
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil
2 eggs
