Ingredients
- for the orange and dark chocolate scones:
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- 3 T. sugar
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
- Zest from 1 large orange
- ½ c. cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- ½ c. buttermilk do not substitute
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 2 oz. dark chocolate chopped into 1/4″ pieces (I used Lindt 70% cocoa)
- For the Orange Glaze:
- ¾ c. powdered sugar
- 1 T. freshly squeezed orange juice
- Zest from 1 large orange
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and orange zest. With a rigid pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center, and then add buttermilk and egg. Stir just until combined (do not overmix). Gently fold in chocolate.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead 5 or 6 times. Pat into an 8” circle and cut into 8 wedges. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake until scones are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let scones sit on baking sheet for a couple minutes before removing to a wire rack.
for the orange glaze:
- While scones are still warm, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together all glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle the orange glaze over the scones.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Best eaten on the day they are baked.
