Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cups Milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Espresso powder
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Strong brewed coffee (for optional glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Fold in the milk chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cooled brewed coffee, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently a few times until it forms a cohesive ball. Flatten the dough into a 1-inch thick disc.
Cut the disc into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
If using the optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and strong brewed coffee until smooth. Drizzle over the warm scones before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite coffee or tea. Enjoy!
