CHOCHOLATE CHIP ORANGE SCONES
Recipe By: Unknown.
Serving Size: 8
Category: Scones
Ingredients:
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 All-purpose flour
1/3 Granulated sugar
2 Baking powder
1/2 Salt
1/2 Unsalted butter -- chilled
2 Eggs
1/4 Orange juice
1 Vanilla extract
1/2 Orange peel -- grated
3/4 Miniature chocolate chips
1 Egg white -- mixed with
1/2 Water; for glaze -- optional
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees; butter a 9-inch circle in the center of a baking sheet. In
a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into
1/2-inch cubes and distribute them over the flour mixture. With a pastry blender or two
knives used scissors fashion, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. In a small bowl, stir together the eggs, orange juice, vanilla extract and
orange peel. Add to the flour mixture and stir to combine. The dough will be sticky.
With lightly floured hands, knead in the chocolate chips until they are evenly
distributed. With lightly floured hands, pat the dough into an 8-inch circle in the center
of the baking sheet. If desired, brush the egg white mixture over the tops and sides of
the dough. With a serrated knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Bake for 20 to 25
minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the
baking sheet to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. With a spatula, transfer the
scones to a wire rack to cool. Recut into wedges if necessary. Serve warm or cool
completely and store in an airtight container. These scones freeze well.
