Chocolate Chip Scones
Chocolate chip scones are a quick and cozy breakfast pastry that comes together in one bowl in under 30 minutes. They're perfect for a special breakfast, a sweet afternoon treat at tea time, or a quick dessert the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar plus another tablespoon for sprinkling over the top (optional)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a medium bowl and whisk them together.
- Add the chocolate chips and toss in the flour to coat.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir it into the flour until a dough starts to form and the dry ingredients are incorporated. You may find it easier to knead it a couple times by hand to get the last of the dry flour incorporated.
- Use a large spoon to drop rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle the additional sugar over the top.
- Bake the scones for 15 - 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
