directions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Grease a large cookie sheet.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter to the mix and, using either a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter until you see course crumbs occurring.
  • In a small mixing bowl, beat the eggs and milk together with a whisk or fork until thoroughly combined then slowly add to the dry ingredients, lightly stirring as you do so. Add 1/2 cup of the mini chocolate chips and the orange peel to the batter and stir until just combined. Don't overstir it too much.
  • Using lightly floured hands, shape the dough into an 8 inch round and place on the greased cookie sheet. Dust lightly with flour. Using a sharp knife, score the round into 8 wedges.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Transfer to cutting board. In one microwaveable container, melt the remaining mini chocolate chips and in another, melt the white chocolate chips, stirring after every 20 seconds of cooking time.
  • Using spoons, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the scones. Wait 15 minutes for the chocolate to set and then, using a sharp knife, cut the scones into wedges along the score lines made earlier.
