Bethany's Orange-Pecan Scones

2 c. self-rising flour
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. orange zest
1/3 c. butter or margarine
1/2 c. buttermilk
1/4 c. fresh orange juice
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
Sugar

     Combine first three ingredients. Cut butter into flour with a pastry blender until crumbly; add buttermilk and next three ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moist.
     Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead three or four times. Divide dough in half, pat each portion into a seven-inch circle, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
     Cut each circle into eight wedges; sprinkle evenly with sugar. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
