I got this recipe from a local tea room. They can be made as recipe states or with white chocolate and cranberries. You can also add a number of things to the dry ingredients to make your own version such as chocolate chips etc.

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 cold butter and heavy cream. This will help to create a light and flaky scone.
Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
Use a sharp knife to cut the scones. This will help to create clean edges.
Bake the scones in a hot oven. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
Serve the scones warm with clotted cream and jam.

Conclusion:

Scones are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or tea. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create scones that are sure to impress your family and friends.
