Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 ½ tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter (, cold and cut into small pieces)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (, or use chopped chocolate (3 ounces). Use semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (, sifted)
  • 1-2 tablespoons brewed coffee (, or you can use milk)
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (, melted (1 ounce))

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Line a baking sheet with silpat or parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
  • Using a pastry blender or your hands, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture looks like fine crumbs.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour into flour mixture and stir until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the chopped chocolate.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead very lightly and form a circle. (Add a little more flour to the dough if the dough becomes too sticky to handle). The flour circle should measure 5-inches by 5-inches and should be 1-inch thick.
  • Cut the dough into 4 triangle wedges and place them on the small baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer onto a wire rack to continue cooling.
