- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

- Mix in milk, vanilla, orange juice, and orange zest until moistened. Add chocolate chips and mix till combined. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface.
- Divide dough in half and by hand form both sections into circles. You want the dough about an inch thick. Then cut each circle into 8 pieces like a pie with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
