Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°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 fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold the chocolate chips into the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick round disk.
Cut the disk into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Brush the tops of the scones with a bit of heavy cream to help them brown beautifully in the oven.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
