Cuisine: British
Serves: 8 scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Using a pastry cutter or cold fingertips, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips - mixing the milk, white, and dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dry mixture.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until fully incorporated.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg and cream mixture, stirring gently with a fork until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times to bring the dough together.
- Pat the dough into a circular shape approximately 1-inch thick, then cut into 8 equal wedges.
- Transfer the scone wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Optional: Brush the tops of the scones with additional heavy cream for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crisp and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For an extra decadent touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled scones before serving.
Tips
- • Keep all ingredients, especially butter, extremely cold to ensure the flakiest, most tender scones possible • Do not overmix the dough - this can lead to tough, dense scones • Use a pastry cutter or cold fingers when incorporating butter to maintain small, pea-sized butter pieces • For an extra luxurious finish, drizzle melted chocolate over cooled scones • Serve fresh on the day of baking for the best texture and flavor • If you want variations, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top or a dash of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor • These scones freeze beautifully - prepare and freeze before baking, then bake directly from frozen, adding 2-3 extra minutes to baking time
