1. | Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. |
2. | In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. |
3. | Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. |
4. | Add the chocolate chips to the mixture and stir to combine. |
5. | In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. |
6. | Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough. |
7. | Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times until the dough comes together. |
8. | Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges. |
9. | Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown on top. |
10. | Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. |
For the best results, use cold butter and milk when making these scones.
Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can result in tough scones.
If you prefer, you can use dark chocolate chips or white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
These scones are best enjoyed warm from the oven, but they will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
These delicious chocolate chip scones are perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat any time of day. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite add-ins, such as nuts, dried fruit, or even different types of chocolate chips. Give them a try and enjoy!
