Chocolate Chip and Orange Scones
Make sure you use chilled butter with these scones or you won't get the perfect flaky texture. Chocolate and orange make them special.
Ingredients
Serves: 12
- 1 3/4 cups plain flour
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 80g unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
Directions

Ready in:27min
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- With a pastry blender or a large fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the chocolate chips. Mix in the orange juice to form a dough.
- Turn out the dough on a floured surface. Pat or roll into a 23cm circle about 1cm thick.
- With a 6cm fluted biscuit cutter, cut out 12 scones, pushing the dough scraps together for the last few, if necessary.
- Transfer the scones to the baking tray.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Move to wire racks to cool.

Used different ingredients. I added 2 Tbs of cocoa powder - 14 Dec 2008
This is a SUPERB recipe! I made the suggested changes of adding 8Tb OJ and 8Tb butter and orange zest from 1/2 an orange...and instead of using a biscuit cutter, I just flattened the dough to 3/4" instead of a 1/2" and cut into triangles. I ended up with 8 good sized scones so I increased the baking time by 3-4 minutes. They were awesome tasting- the zest really brings up the orange taste up a notch. - 15 Jul 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Yummy!! Like everyone else I had to use way more orange juice (I didn't keep track of how much just kept adding until it seemed right). I also used chocolate chunks and it ended up tasting just the chocolate scones at Starbucks. Now I can save my $1.50 and just make them at home - thanks!!! - 27 Sep 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
