Orange Marmalade Scones

1/2 cup shortening
2 cups sifted flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. grated orange peel
1 egg
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 tsp. almond flavoring
orange marmalade

Sift dry ingredients together. Mix in orange peel. Cut shortening into flour mixture. Add egg, orange juice and flavoring. Stir until all ingredients are moistened. Knead on a lightly floured board six times. Roll into an 8 x 8 inch square that is 1/2-inch thick. Cut the square into quarter, each quarter in half diagonally, then each triangle in half to yield 16 scones of equal size. Place scones on a baking sheet, indent the center of each triangle and fill scone with 1/2 teaspoon orange marmalade. Bake in a very hot oven of 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Serve hot with butter.
