Kumquat Chocolate Scones

• 6 ounces (about 24) kumquats, sliced into thin rounds and seeded
• 1/4 cup 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate, chopped

1. Preheat oven to 325F.
2. Toss sliced kumquats with 1 tablespoon sugar. Place single layer on parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
3. Turn oven temperature up to 375F.
4. In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in cooled kumquats, butter, egg, and heavy cream. Mix until dough starts to come together. Add chocolate and mix for a couple more seconds.
5. Form dough into 6-inch round disk. Cut into 6 wedges and transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
6. Alternatively, you can freeze the dough before baking. Bake directly from freezer for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown.
