Ingredients

Scones

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
  • 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup + 2 Tbsp cold heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup strawberries, hulled and finely diced
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • extra heavy cream for brushing the tops

Orange Glaze

  • 1-2 Tbsp orange juice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp orange zest

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1 Tbsp semi-sweet or dark chocolate melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, orange zest, and baking powder together. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter and mix the dough until the butter is about the size of peas and the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Mix heavy cream and egg together, and slowly drizzle into the scone batter while stirring gently. Stir just until combined.
  • With a couple paper towels, squeeze as much juice out of the strawberries as possible (a few good squeezes should be enough; this keeps the strawberries from releasing too much juice into the dough). Add strawberries into the dough. Add chocolate chunks into dough. Fold until just combined.
  • On a floured surface, turn out the dough and pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut the dough into eighths, place on a greased baking sheet, brush with heavy cream, and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • While the scones are cooling, mix together orange juice, powdered sugar, and zest. Once combined, drizzle the glaze over the scones. Top with chocolate drizzle.
  • Enjoy!
