Chocolate Scones with Orange Zest

Preheat oven to 400 F.

In a mixing bowl, combine flours, rolled oats, the first amount of sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix in the diced butter on low speed with a hand mixer and combine until mixture is crumbly. Dice chocolate, add it into the mixture and fold in. Reserve 1 teaspoon of the zest to sprinkle on top. Mix remaining zest into the mixture.

In a separate bowl, combine 4 eggs and the buttermilk. Add egg mixture into the flour mixture. Combine until just blended (mixture should be sticky with small pieces of butter).

Roll out dough on a floured surface to about 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Cut dough into 4 inch squares, and then cut diagonally into triangles. Place triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a small bowl beat remaining egg and milk and brush mixture over scones. Sprinkle scones with sugar and bake for 20-25 minutes until outsides are crisp. Remove from oven. Serve and enjoy!
