Chocolate Chip Scones
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 8-inch circle and cut it into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
