Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream , for brushing
Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a large spoon to stir together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Grate 1/2 cup cold butter using a cheese grater and stir into the flour mixture OR cut butter into small pieces and use a pastry cutter to cut the fat into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal or sand.
- Add in 1 cup heavy cream, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup mini chocolate chips. Stir until all the liquid is incorporated and there are no dry spots in the dough.
- Lightly dust a clean countertop with a sprinkling of flour. Transfer the dough to the counter and use your hands to form it into a large ball.
- Press the dough to flatten it into a 2-inch thick disc. Use a butter knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place cut scones on an ungreased baking sheet and brush the tops with 2 tablespoon heavy cream.
- Bake at 425℉ for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are nicely browned.
- While the scones are baking, make your icing by adding 1 cup powdered sugar to a small bowl. Pour in 2 tablespoons milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
- Once the scones are done baking, let them cool on the pan on a wire rack. Use a spoon to drizzle the icing over the scones while they are still warm.
