Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter chilled
- ⅔ cup heavy cream chilled
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Use a box grater to grate the cold ½ cup unsalted butter into the dry ingredients. Use your hands to lightly toss the butter in the flour mixture.
- In a medium bowl, combine ⅔ cup heavy cream, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour over the flour mixture. Gently stir until combined, using a rubber spatula to press the dough together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and work together into a ball. Try to work the dough as gently and as little as possible, going only just until you can bring it all together into a ball.
- Flatten the ball of dough into an 8-9 inch disc. Use a sharp knife to cut the disc into 6-8 equal slices.
- Arrange the pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each one. I recommend chilling them in the freezer for 15 minutes before baking to allow the butter to chill after being worked, but you may also bake them straight away.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the edges are set. Allow the scones to cool for 25-30 minutes before adding the ganache drizzle.
- For the ganache, heat 3 tablespoons heavy cream in the microwave for 25 seconds. Add ⅓ cup chocolate chips to a small bowl and pour the hot cream over them. Let it sit for 1 minute before carefully stirring until smooth.
