2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
1-1/2 cup Wheat Flour
1-1/2 cup Rolled Oats
4 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
2 teaspoons Salt
1 pound Cold Unsalted Butter Diced Into Small Pieces
2 bars (3 1/2 Oz. Size) Dark Chocolate (We Used Lindt 70%)
1 Orange, Zested
5 whole Eggs, Slightly Beaten
1/2 cups Buttermilk
1 Tablespoon Milk
1 Tablespoon Sugar, To Sprinkle On Top

1
Preheat oven to 400 F.
2
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.
3
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).
4
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.
5
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!
