Scones, Scones, Scones?

What do you like with your morning coffee? A doughnut or pastry? How about a scone?

Here is my recipe for “Chocolate Chip Scones”

Ingredients

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Get yourself a large mixing bowl, and whisk together the following ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Now add the squares of butter using a fork to incorporate it into the dry ingredients. You want to press the butter into the flower with a fork until the dry ingredients start to become crumbly. It is ok if you have some chunks of butter still whole. Add your chocolate chips and mix to ensure an even distribution.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the following ingredients: eggs, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Once all the liquid ingredients are well mixed, add them to the dry mixture. Youwill mix them together until they are all moistened and hold together.

Get a cookie sheet and line it with parchment paper orgrease it lightly with some butter. Sprinkle with some flour to prevent sticking. Divide your dough into 2 balls and press them down onto the pan until they form a circle which is about 6 inches around and about 1 inch think. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle the tops with sugar. Using a cold knife, divide each cirlce into 6 or 8 wedges. Spread the wedges apart so there is about a 1/2 an inch between them.

Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 mins, or until they are golden brown. Remove the scones from the oven, and allow them to cool briefly on the pan. Serve warm. When they’re completely cool, you can wrap them in plastic and store at room temperature for up to several days.
