Add a photoThese scones are decadent - dark chocolate meets a flakey, rich scone. One of my favorites!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 – 1 cup 60% cacao dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- 2. Measure flour and level. (Use your finger or a table knife.)
- 3. Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a standing mixer with a paddle attachment and combine.
- 4. Add butter pieces, spreading around the bowl. Combine the butter into the dry ingredients on a low setting until it forms a coarse meal.
- 5. Slowly add the liquid mixture of the flour and blend until just combined. Do not over mix. The dough should have a similar texture to cookie dough.
- 6. Remove dough from mixer dough and place on a floured work surface.
- 7. Roll into a six-inch circle. The dough should be left fairly think – I usually go for about half an inch in thickness.
- 8. Cut eight triangular wedges and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Optional: brush one tablespoon of heavy cream over the top of the wedges and sprinkle with sugar.
- 9. Bake for 17 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
- 10. Allow to cool approximately five minutes and serve!
