Folks, I have a confession. Scones and other breakfast pastries are the way to my heart.

Adapted from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything

Ingredients

2.5 c flour

1 t salt

4 t baking powder

2 T sugar

5 T butter, cold

3 eggs

3/4 c milk

1/4 c dried cranberries

1/4 c chocolate chips

1 T orange zest

1 T water

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a food processor, combine all dry ingredients and orange zest, reserving 1 tablespoon of sugar. Add butter, and pulse until mixture appears sandy. Separately whisk milk and 2 eggs. Combine milk mixture with the dry ingredients. Turn onto floured surface and gently knead in berries and chocolate chips. 

Pat dough into rectangle of 3/4 inch thickness. Cut into 8-10 triangles. Place scones on ungreased cookie sheet. Make egg wash with water and remaining egg, and brush mixture onto scones. Sprinkle scones with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
