Squeeze orange juice.In a small bowl, beat juice, buttermilk, egg and extract until smooth. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well mixed. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture looks like fine sized peas. Add sugar, almonds and orange zest and toss to combine evenly. Using a fork, stir in egg mixture to form a soft dough. Turn out dough onto a floured board. Knead several times just until well mixed. Shape 8-10 slightly flattened rounds. Bake in 375° oven for about 20 minutes or until browned. Makes 8-10 scones.
