Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 0.75 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until the dough just begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch-thick circle, about 7-8 inches in diameter.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges (like a pizza). Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Brush the tops of the scones with the extra 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, then sprinkle with turbinado sugar if desired for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with coffee, tea, or as a delightful treat on its own!
