Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Combine flour, sugar and baking powder together in a large bowl.
  • Add butter in and use your hands to combine butter with dry ingredients until the butter is completely crumbled.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk egg, yogurt, vanilla, orange juice, and orange zest together.
  • Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and use an electric mixer to combine everything. The dough should be a bit sticky--that's ok!.
  • Flour a baking mat and place dough on the mat, applying flour to the dough itself so it doesn't stick to your hands.
  • Use your hands to form dough into a flattened circle, about ½" thick. Next, use a knife to make 4 cuts, which will create 8 scones.
  • Carefully transfer the scones onto a baking sheet and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
  • While scones are cooling, make the icing.
  • Combine mascarpone, powdered sugar and milk together in a bowl; set aside.
  • Melt butter and chocolate together and then add melted chocolate to bowl; stir everything together. If mixture seems too thick, add an additional tablespoon of milk.
  • Drizzle glaze overtop scones.
  • Enjoy!
