  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions

  3. Turn oven temperature up to 375F.
  4. 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.
