8 tablespoons  cold unsalted butter (cut 1/2″ cubes)

In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.  Work the pieces of butter into the flour using a pastry blender or clean finger tips of your hands, until   butter is broken down and crumbly within the flour with some pea sized pieces of butter remaining in the flour mixture.                                                           Add chocolate chips and citrus zest and toss to coat. Add buttermilk, stir with wooden spoon to combine.
  3. Pour mixture onto flour cutting board and gently knead until dough holds together, pat the edges in to form the dough into a circle.
