Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 ¼ cups (11 ¼ oz/319g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (1oz/28g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (4oz/115g) sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (4oz/115g) cold butter, finely cubed
  • 1 cup (6oz/170g) chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (4floz/115ml) heavy cream
  • ½ cup (4floz/115ml) milk
  • ¾ cup (3oz/85g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add butter to the dry mix and cut in with a pastry knife until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. You can also do this step using your fingers.
  • Add the cream, milk and chocolate chips to the flour mixture. Working quickly, combine ingredients until a loose dough forms.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead a few times, just until dough holds together. Pat into a circle, one-inch thick.
  • Cut dough into 8 even triangles and place on a baking sheet. Let scones firm up in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until tops are firm and scones sound hollow when tapped.
  • Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing to a rack to finish cooling.
