Orange & Dark Chocolate Scones With Orange Glaze
- FOR THE SCONES:
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 Large Orange, Zest Only
- 1/2 cups Cold Unsalted Butter (cut Into Small Pieces)
- 1/2 cups Buttermilk (do Not Substitute)
- 1 whole Large Egg, Lightly Beaten
- 2 ounces, weight Dark Chocolate, Chopped Into 1/4" Pieces (I Used Lindt 70% Cocoa)
- FOR THE ORANGE GLAZE:
- 3/4 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 Large Orange, Zest Only
- 1 Tablespoon Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
- For the scones:
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and orange zest. With a rigid pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center, and then add buttermilk and egg. Stir just until combined (do not overmix). Gently fold in chocolate.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead 5 or 6 times. Pat into an 8" circle and cut into 8 wedges. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake until scones are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let scones sit on baking sheet for a couple minutes before removing to a wire rack.
- For the orange glaze:
- While scones are still warm, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together all glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle the orange glaze over the scones.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Best eaten on the day they are baked.
