Chocolate Orange Scones

One last holiday indulgence… You can substitute the brand of chocolate for any orange flavoured chocolate.

Preheat oven to 425F.

• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Mix the above ingredients together.

• 5 tablespoons butter

Rub the butter into the flour mixture with your hands until it is reduced to small, flat pieces. Add:

• Zest of 1 orange
• 1 Lindt Orange Intense Chocolate bar, broken into pieces

Stir together:

• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Combine the mil and the brown sugar. Stir into the flour mixture just until combined. Use your hand to form a flat circle of dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut the circle into eight triangles and move these apart from each other slightly on the baking sheet. 

Bake for about 15-18 minutes in a 425 degree Fahrenheit oven. Cool completely.

For glaze:

1/2 cup icing sugar

2 Tbsp orange juice

Combine and then drizzle over top of scones
