2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, and orange zest. Use a fork to cut in the margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the mandarin orange segments, milk, and egg using a fork. Mix just until the dough starts to come together and forms a soft dough.

4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it lightly about 10 times.

5. Shape the Scones: On the greased cookie sheet, roll or pat the dough into a 6-inch circle. Sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon of sugar.

6. Cut and Bake: Using a knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges and separate them slightly. Bake the scones for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.

7. Prepare the Orange Butter: While the scones are baking, beat the butter in a small bowl until it becomes light and fluffy. Stir in the orange marmalade until well combined.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Once the scones are ready, serve them warm with a generous dollop of the orange butter on top.
