Description

This Chocolate Chips Scones recipe is the perfect treat for when you want something sweet and comforting. The scones are light, fluffy and loaded with chocolate chips, giving them a delicious double chocolate flavor. They’re perfect for an indulgent breakfast, snack or dessert.

Ingredients

To make these Chocolate Chips Scones, you’ll need: all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, butter, egg, milk, vanilla extract, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt.

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, work the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a coarse crumb texture. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Lastly, stir in the chocolate chips. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it until it’s just combined. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the scones for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them cool before serving. Enjoy!
