chocolate chip scones

Since I've had several requests for this recipe, I decided to write up a short post for chocolate chip scones.


I got the recipe after looking through photos on Google, & adjusted it somewhat.

ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, chilled
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk

directions:

  1. in a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda & salt, sifting with a whisk
  2. Cut stick of butter into small pieces & slowly add to the dry mixture, stirring the entire time
    (I just use my standing mixer & leave it on a low setting)
  3. stir in chocolate chips, beaten egg & milk
  4. stir just until moistened, forming into a ball
  5. place dough onto a floured surface. add about a tablespoon of flour to the top of the dough in order to knead it 12-15 times.
  6. Pat the dough out into a large circle about 3/4 of an inch deep
  7. Use a pizza cutter or a knife to cut the dough into triangles
  8. place dough onto a greased baking sheet, about 1 inch apart
  9. bake at 375 for about 13-15 minutes
  10. remove & let cool on a wire rack

3/4 inch dough in circle
cut triangles ready to go into the oven

 Once the scones are out of the oven, & have cooled about 5 minutes, mix up the glaze to go on top.

glaze:

  •  in a mixing bowl, whisk 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla & 1 Tablespoon of milk
  • add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches desired consistency
  • place baking sheet under the cooling rack to catch the excess glaze
  • using a spoon, drizzle the glaze on top of the scones




Enjoy!
