Time 45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
1 cup white vanilla baking chips
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/2 cup of the baking chips, the orange peel, egg and half-and-half until soft dough forms.
  • On lightly floured surface, knead dough about 5 seconds or until dough is smooth. Divide dough in half. Pat each half into a round, 1/2 inch thick. Cut each round into 8 wedges.
  • On ungreased cookie sheet, place wedges 1 inch apart. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool 10 minutes.
  • Place remaining 1/2 cup baking chips in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal. Microwave on High 1 minute; press bag until chips are smooth. Cut off tiny corner of bag; squeeze to drizzle melted chips over scones. Serve warm or cooled.

These scones were a bit dense, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've tried this recipe a few times now and it always turns out great. The scones are light and fluffy, and the orange flavor is just right.

A bit dry, but still tasty. I think I'll try adding a little more cream next time.

These scones were easy to make and turned out great! I used a gluten-free flour blend and they still came out light and fluffy. Definitely a keeper recipe.

I've never been a huge fan of scones, but these changed my mind. They were so moist and flavorful, and the orange glaze was the perfect finishing touch.

These scones were a delight! The orange zest and cream added a wonderful flavor combination, and the scones were light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making these again.
