I Love this recipe! We eat it for breakfast on special occasians -
As scones go, these are very eggy and bready. I was hoping for more of an orange flavor, but they're certainly fine as is. And boy, as Charlotte J said, they sure do puff up in the oven. I didn't find the dough sticky, though; the amount of moisture was just right for me. The recipe doesn't say when to add the orange zest. I kneaded it in with the chocolate chips, but it would probably be better mix it in with the dry ingredients to distribute more evenly. -
These were easy to make. It was a very sticky dough as I had to use the fork to shape it, not hands. With so mych leavening (4 teaspoon) it was like bread, raising very high in the oven. I did not have an orange so used 1/2 teaspoon of orange extract. Made for *PAC Fall 2007* game
