Chocolate chip scones Recipe

British · Dessert · 30 min total

Tender, buttery scones studded with chocolate chips, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon treat. This easy recipe yields scones with a golden crust and soft, flaky interior.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 2/3 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.
4. Stir in chocolate chips.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla. Pour into flour mixture and stir with a fork until just combined. Dough will be shaggy.
6. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 4-5 times until it comes together. Pat into a 7-inch round disk about 3/4 inch thick.
7. Cut into 8 wedges (like a pizza) and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
8. Brush tops with additional heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
9. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• For best results, use cold butter and handle dough minimally to keep scones tender.
• Scones are best enjoyed the day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, warm in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes.
