Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice, fresh
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or white chocolate chips

How To Make orange and white chocolate scones

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    Whisk flour with sugar, baking powder, orange zest and salt.
  • Step 3
    Stir cream and 2 tbsp orange juice into the dry ingredients. Fold in 1/4 cup of the white chocolate chips.
  • Step 4
    On a lightly floured work surface, gently knead dough just until it comes together. Pat into a 9-inch round about 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough into 8 wedges and arrange them 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
  • Step 5
    Bake scones for 20-25 minutes until slightly firm and lightly browned on the bottom, but pale on the top. Let cool for 5 minutes on pan, then transfer to rack to cool completely.
  • Step 6
    Put the other 1/4 cup chips into a small ziploc bag. Seal and microwave for about 30 seconds until melted. Smoosh with your fingers. Cut a small hole in corner of bag and pipe the white chocolate across the scones. (You may need a bit more chips, depending on how much you pipe on.)
