Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter ((very cold, cut into cubes or grated))
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips ((or regular chocolate chips))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and combine.
  • Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs. The pieces of butter should about the size of a pea.
  • Whisk together the egg and heavy cream. Add gradually to the flour mixture until it just sticks together. Do not over mix. Reserve any extra cream mixture.
  • Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Divide the dough in half and shape into two circles, about 1/2-3/4-inch high. Cut into 6 triangles.
  • Place on a parchment paper or Silpat mat-lined baking sheet.
  • Brush the extra cream and egg mixture onto the tops of the scones. If you don't have extra, you can brush either cream or an egg wash on top, if desired.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just lightly browned on the bottoms.
