These melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip scones are tender and moist with deliciously crumbly edges. On some rainy days, I’m not in mood to prepare a proper breakfast so this is my choice of quick morning. You can prepare it anytime and keep in the fridge for later. It’s best to serve with milk or tea. Enjoy!
Chocolate Chip Scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick; 115g) unsalted butter, frozen
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream (plus 2 Tbsp for brushing)
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
Instruction
Whisk 1/2 cup heavy cream, brown sugar, the egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, add the chocolate chips, then mix together until everything appears moistened.
Pour onto the counter and, with floured hands, work dough into a ball as best you can. Dough will be sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour. If it seems too dry, add 1-2 more Tablespoons heavy cream. Press into an 8-inch disc and, with a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 wedges.
