These scrumptious scones will make you feel like you're Queen for a day! The chocolate chips make them very tasty but the orange juice makes them special. Make sure butter is well chilled to produce the flakiest texture possible. Serve with clotted cream or lemon curd.

Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
½ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons orange juice

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (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 9 inch circle about 1/2 inch thick. With a 2 1/2 inch fluted biscuit cutter, cut out 12 scones, pushing the dough scraps together for the last few, if necessary. Transfer the scones to the baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Move to wire racks to cool.

Time 27m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (see note)
3 tablespoons orange juice

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
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 (or whatever you choose).
Mix in the orange juice to form a dough. Turn out the dough on a floured surface. Pat or roll into a 9" circle about 1/2" thick.
With a 2 1/2" fluted biscuit cutter, cut out 12 scones, pushing the scraps together for the last few.
Transfer the scones to the baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool on racks.
Note: I have used white chocolate chips and dried cranberries and I prefer either or both to milk chocolate in these.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic, grass-fed butter, fresh eggs, and unbleached flour will make a big difference.
Make sure your butter is cold. This will help to create flaky scones.
Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
Chill the scones before baking. This will help them to rise properly.
Bake the scones in a hot oven. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
Serve the scones warm with clotted cream and jam.
