ORANGE CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
zest of 2 oranges
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips, or regular chips roughly chopped
for glaze: 2 tablespoons orange juice and 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

Heat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and orange zest in a mixer with a paddle attachment. Cut the cold butter into small chunks and slowly add to the dry ingredients with the mixer on low. Mix until the butter is distributed and is pea-sized. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, cream, and orange juice. Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the cream mixture. Turn off the machine once added. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Add more flour to the top of the dough and pat it down to flatten into a circle about 8-9 inches in diameter. Cut into pieces like a pie. Separate the pieces and put them on the prepared pan. Bake 15-17 minutes. For the glaze: whisk together the orange juice and the powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over scones after they have cooled for a few minutes.
