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.
