  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon and orange zest.
  • Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles crumbs.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Whisk the milk and egg together and pour the mixture into the mixing bowl.
  • Stir until just combined. It helps to use your hands and knead it lightly.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat the dough into and 8-inch circle.
  • Cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  • Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • TO MAKE THE GLAZE
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange zest and orange juice until smooth. The glaze should have enough liquid in it to drizzle onto the scones so add a little more orange juice if needed.
  • Drizzle over the scones.
