Scones
2
Preheat oven to 425°F. LIne a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut the butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the orange zest and the chocolate.
baking powder2 teaspoonsorange zest1 teaspoon
4
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add 3/4 cup of the heavy cream. Mix the dough together. It should have a slightly dry texture, but not be crumbly. Add an additional 1-2 tablespoons of cream if the dough seems too dry.
5
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for ⏱️ 1 minute. Form the dough into a round or rectangle approximately 1 inch thick and use a knife or pizza cutter to cut into 6 equal pieces.

Arrange the pieces on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Brush the wedges with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and bake for ⏱️ 15-20 minutes, until the scones are golden and the edges are lightly toasted.
