ORANGE CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES



Orange Chocolate Chip Scones image

This recipe is based on a recipe I slightly altered. It called for poppy seeds instead of the chocolate chips. I had already began making the recipe when I discovered my stash of poppy seeds had gone bad. So in an attempt to continue making the original recipe I subbed in mini-chocolate chips. I also used regular milk instead of cream and added baking powder to the list of ingredients. This recipe came out pretty darn good. It was even better the next morning.
