Chocolate Clementine Scones (GF)

(8 servings)

Ingredients:

1 cup GF Flour

1 cup Almond Flour

¼ cup, plus 2 tsp. Sugar, divided

2 medium Clementines, zested

2 tsp. Baking Powder

½ tsp. Baking Soda

¼ tsp. Salt

5 tbsp. Unsalted Butter, cold

1 large Fresh Egg

3 tbsp. Clementine Juice

½ tsp. Vanilla

1/3 cup Dark Chocolate Chunks

Directions:

In a large bowl, whisk together GF flour, almond flour, ¼ cup sugar, zest, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Stir in egg, juice and vanilla until dough comes together.  Stir in chocolate.  Turn dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Pat into an 8 inch circle and score into 8 wedges with a large knife.  Place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 18-22 minutes or until edges are golden and scones are just barely firm.  Sprinkle remaining sugar over scones and let cool 20 minutes.  Cut along score marks and serve.

Note:               You could use chocolate chips of your favorite flavor instead of chunks.
