Chocolate Chip Orange Scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 Tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 Tbsp orange zest
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In your mixer combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the cold butter into smaller pieces and add to the dry mixture. Mix together until the butter is broken into small little pieces. It will take time so just be patient and it will break down!
- 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.
- Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for about 17 minutes or until golden brown.
