Chocolate chip/Orange Scones

In a mixer or bread machine with a paddle attachment, start slowly combining the flour-butter mix with 1/8—1/4 tsp. of orange zest. Speed up the mixer, add two large eggs and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Mix for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips ( I prefer the mini sized chocolate chips) during the last few seconds of mixing.

Grease hands with butter and roll into 6 equal balls. Put each on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes and then cover loosely with tin foil and bake for additional 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.

: Cut one, very cold stick of butter into 1 1/2 cups of scone mix (I use a food processor to make it easier and faster), 1/8 tsp. salt and 4-5 tsp. of sugar until very well combined. No big chunks of butter should be left.

Icing

While the scones are still warm from the oven, mix powdered sugar, a splash of vanilla, water or milk in a bowl. Make it thin enough to drizzle over the top of the scones.
