Zesty Orange Chocolate Vanilla Bean Scones
Indulge your taste buds in a delightful combination of a zesty citrus glaze drizzled over velvety chocolate scones with our mouthwatering Orange Chocolate Scone recipe using our Vanilla Bean Scone Mix.
Pro Tip: Using cold butter and folding the dough several times before cutting will create wonderful layers when baking!
Time: 35 minutes Yields: 12 scones
INGREDIENTS
1 box scone mix
½ cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
¾ cup cold milk
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 Tbsp orange zest
For the glaze:
1 cup icing sugar
3 Tbsp of fresh orange juice (about 1 orange)
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the dry mix in a large bowl. Remove ¼ cup of the dry mixture and set aside.
- Using your hands, work butter into the dry mix until pea-sized pieces form. Leave some visible pieces of butter.
- Add the milk, chocolate chips, and orange zest and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
- Sprinkle the reserved dry mix on a clean surface and take the dough out of the bowl. Fold the dough in half several times, pressing down each time, incorporating the excess dry mix.
- Pat the dough into a 9 inch round. Cut the dough into 12 equal wedges.
- Place scones on the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bottoms are golden brown.
For the glaze:
- Whisk together the icing sugar and orange juice. Add more orange juice or icing sugar if needed for your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze on the warm scones. For a further indulgence, top with a dollop of Provisions Orange Marmalade and enjoy!
Cooled scones can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
