Ingredients
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp chilled butter cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup pecans chopped
- 1 large egg white lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Combine the buttermilk, brown sugar, vanilla extract and egg in a medium bowl with a whisk.
- Combine both flours, baking powder, kosher salt, in a large bowl with a whisk. With a pastry blender cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips and chopped pecans. Add milk mixture, stirring just until moist.
- Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly four times with floured hands. Don't overwork the dough. Form the dough into an 9-inch circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat baking sheet, to about 3/4" thick.
- With a knife, cut dough into 8-12 wedges all the way through, depending on how big you want your scones. Brush egg white over dough and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and sugar.
- Bake until golden, about 18 minutes. Serve warm.
