I don't remember where I got this recipe, but I love these. I was on a real tea and scones kick for awhile. What a lovely way to spend the afternoon! I can make some huge boo boos baking but these guys have never failed me.

Categories     Scones

Time 27m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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.

These scones are a bit bland. I think I would add some more spices or herbs next time.

I found the instructions a bit confusing. I think they could be written more clearly.

These scones are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter or milk next time.

I love these scones! They're so easy to make and they always turn out delicious. I usually add a little bit of dried fruit or nuts to the batter, and they're always a hit.
