Ingredientes

• 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
• 1-2 Tbsp orange juice
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp orange zest
• 1 Tbsp semi-sweet or dark chocolate (melted)

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Mix heavy cream and egg together, and slowly drizzle into the scone batter while stirring gently. Stir just until combined.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   Enjoy!
