6 ounces (about 24) kumquats, sliced into thin rounds and seeded
¼ cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1½ cups all purpose flour
1½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 egg
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F.
Toss sliced kumquats with 1 tablespoon sugar. Place single layer on parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
Turn oven temperature up to 375F.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, ¼ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in cooled kumquats, butter, egg, and heavy cream. Mix until dough starts to come together. Add chocolate and mix for a couple more seconds.
Form dough into 6-inch round disk. Cut into 6 wedges and transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
Alternatively, you can freeze the dough before baking. Bake directly from freezer for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown.
