Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional:

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Shape and Bake: Shape the dough into a circle, cut into wedges, and place on the baking sheet. Brush with cream, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding orange zest or a drizzle of chocolate glaze.
  • Scones are best enjoyed the same day but can be frozen for up to 2 months.
