The rich dark chocolate chunks and tangy orange flavor in these scones make them a real treat. It's great for breakfast or as a sweet treat with your favorite hot drink.
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 tablespoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed. 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks. 2 tablespoons orange zest. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: Warm your oven up to 400F 200C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix the cold butter cubes into the dry ingredients. You can use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it looks like big crumbs. Add the orange zest and chocolate chunks and mix well. Mix the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract in a different bowl using a whisk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix them together just until they are combined. Don't mix the dough too much; it should still be a little crumbly. Lay the dough out on a surface that has been lightly dusted with flour. Knead it a few times to bring it together. Cut the dough into 8 wedges after rolling it into a circle that is about an inch thick. Leave some space between each scone when you put them on the baking sheet that has been worked on. The scones should be baked in a hot oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Take them out of the oven and set them on a wire rack to cool. Enjoy your Chocolate Chunk Orange Scones after you've made them.
