Bake Along # 27 ~ Orange and Dark Chocolate Buttermilk Scones

When i know that Bake Along #27 is baking Scones I am worried and excited. Why worried?  I have never tasted a scone before..but I know what is a scone though..
I don't know why..just never had a chance to try it ... I am wondering how does it taste like...:D 
Why excited? I am going to bake some scones.
I found a few scone recipes from google search. Finally, i choose this one...
'Orange and Dark Chocolate Buttermilk Scone' from Joy the Baker.

'Orange and Dark Chocolate Buttermilk Scone' 

This is one of Joy's favorite way to count to five ...^^

2~ pour the wet into the dry, mix into a dough and cut into 4 or 6 pieces.

3~ Arrange into a lined baking tray and send to the oven.

4~ Its all done.

5~ serve warm with some jam and butter...this scone is very delicious too eating on its own ~

This is the story of my scones from 1 to 5..^^

~this is my homemade Roselle jam~

~I can tell you now how does a scone taste to me..it is so delicious. I like the  crunchy outside and the melt in the mouth texture inside. When it melts the taste and the scent of the chocolate chip and the orange zest is so awesome.

Orange and Dark Chocolate Buttermilk Scones

Recipe is from Joy the Baker with a slight changes.
makes four large or six small scones (i make mine into 6 small scones)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp orange zest
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp(85.05gms) cold unsalted butter 
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp cold buttermilk

(i substitue my with this Lemon and Milk)

1/2 cups dark chocolate chips

(i use semi sweet chocolate chips)

To do:

1) Preheated oven at 425F  or 218C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside. 

2) In a mxing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, orange zest, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. I use my fingers to rub the butter and the dry ingredients together.

3) In another bowl, combine egg yolk and buttermilk and beat lightly with a fork. Add to flour mixture all at once, stirring enough to make a soft dough. Fold in the chocolate chips.

4) Turn out onto a floured board and knead for 15 times. Roll  or pat out into a 1-inch thickness. Cut into 4 large or 6 small square. Place on prepared baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes. These are best to serve immediately with butter and jam.
