Chocolate Chip Scones
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 12 mins
Total time: 27 mins
Ingredients
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, chilled
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 6 tbsp orange juice
  • 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 °F.
  2. Whisk flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a large bowl until blended well.
  3. Cut in chilled butter with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly.
  4. Stir in chocolate chips with a fork.
  5. Add 1 tbsp of orange juice and milk in at a time, mixing it into the dough until the dough becomes wet enough to stick together in a ball. You may need to add a little more or less for all of the dough to stick. Do not add too much or dough will be too wet and mushy.
  6. Gather dough loosely into a ball. On a floured surface, pat dough flat about ½ inch thick.
  7. With ~2 inch biscuit cuter or cookie cutter, cut scones out and transfer to baking sheet.
  8. Bake about 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  9. Transfer immediately to wire racks to cool.
