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:

Chilling the dough before baking helps the scones rise higher and gives them a more tender crumb.
Use cold butter for the dough. This will help the scones stay light and flaky.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the scones.
Don't overcrowd the scones on the baking sheet. Leave at least 2 inches of space between each scone.
Bake the scones until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or cream.

These English Royalty Chocolate Chip Scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
