Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix well. Using a pastry cutter or two kitchen knives, cut in the butter until it is the size of small peas. Scatter the dried fruit and orange zest over the dry ingredients and toss well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk and orange blossom water. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients; mix and fold gently until a dough forms and the flour is moistened. Dont worry if the dough is a little streaky and bits of butter are still intact. *[Do not overmix the dough. ]*. Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, pat each ball into a 6- to 7-inch disk. With a rolling pin, roll the disks into 3/4-inch-thick roundsthe perimeter will be raggedthen cut each round into 8 wedges (like pie slices). On parchment-lined baking sheets, arrange the wedges without crowding. Sprinkle the scones with a dusting of raw sugar. Bake until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 20- 25 minutes. Serve warm. We liked our scones with a slather of butter. Delicious with your morning cup of coffee, too!
