Chocolate Orange Scones

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 190° C (375° F). Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
2. 2
   Sift the flour and sugar into a mixing bowl and rub in the butter until it resembles fine crumbs. Add the Chocolate Orange and stir through the mixture, along with the orange zest.
3. 3
   Beat the egg with the milk and gradually pour about three-quarters of this liquid into the flour mixture to form a soft dough; add more liquid if necessary.
4. 4
   Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out to 3cm (1 inch) thick. Stamp out using a 7cm (2 3/4-inch) round cutter, place on the baking sheet and brush the tops with the milk and egg mixture.
5. 5
   Bake for about 15 minutes until risen and golden brown.
6. 6
   Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Best served warm with butter and orange marmalade.
