Description
Delicious and flaky Chocolate Chip Scones, perfect for breakfast or a cozy snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it just a few times to bring it together.
- Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut it into wedges or use a round cutter for individual scones.
- Place the shaped scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let the scones cool slightly before serving, allowing the flavors to settle and the chocolate to slightly harden.
