Chocolate Chip Scones
Today I decided to make something a little out of the box, and decided on scones! Scones are perfect-sweet, but not TOO sweet. They're flaky, a little buttery, and oh-so-delicious.
Wanna know how to make them?
Here's what you'll need:
2 cups unsifted flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup buttermilk or milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Recipe
1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
2. Spray a cookie/baking sheet with cooking oil or grease with butter.
3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
4. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender till the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
5. In a small bowl, combine the milk, egg, and vanilla. Stir a little so the ingredients are just one color.
6. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and add in the chocolate chips. If you like a lot of chocolate chips like I do, add 1/4-1/2 cup more chocolate chips. Mix with a fork or your hands until the mixture clings and resembles a soft dough (will look like thick cookie dough).
7. Flour a surface like your counter and place the dough onto it. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a 6-7 inch circle, or about the length of a hand.
8. Cut the dough into desired shapes, or simply into a few wedges.
9. Place the dough on the greased baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, checking doneness occasionally. (makes about 8 small scones)
Let the scones cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Yum, enjoy!
I hope you make these delicious scones.. They're so easy and simple to make! If you are making these for a family breakfast or something similar, I'd advise doubling the recipe.
Have a great day!
