Instructions
- Add the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 5-10 times, or until well combined.
- Add the cubed butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas, about 10 pulses.
- In a large bowl, whisk the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla together.
- Add the butter-flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until the dough begins to come together into large clumps.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into an 8-inch round circle. It may look dry at first, but keep working it with your hands and it will come together!
- Cut the dough into 8 triangles.
- Place the scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure to place them at least 2 inches apart. They will spread a little while baking.
- Place the scones in the freezer to chill for 30 minutes. While the scones chill, preheat oven to 350°F.
- When the oven is fully preheated, brush the scones with heavy cream and sprinkle them with coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the scones are puffed and golden brown around the edges.
- Allow the scones to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
- Storage: Store chocolate chip scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months
- Serve chocolate chip scones with butter, clotted cream, jam, ice cream, or whipped cream!
