Ingredients

35 minutes
8 to 10 scones
  1. 255 gramsall-purpose flour
  2. 3 teaspoonsbaking powder
  3. 2 teaspoonssugar
  4. 1 teaspoonkosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon fine salt)
  5. 55 grams (4 tablespoons)butter
  6. 1/4 cupmilk
  7. 3/4 cupheavy cream
  8. 175 gramsmilk chocolate (lower than 40%), roughly chopped or a mixture with of chips and wafers
  9. Turbinado sugar

Cooking Instructions

35 minutes
  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal.

  2. 2

    Add the milk and the cream to form a slightly sticky dough. If it’s too sticky, add a little flour, but very little; it should still stick a little to your hands.

  3. 3

    Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, incorporate chocolate and knead once or twice. Then press it into a ¾-inch-thick circle and cut into desired shape. Put the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. MAKE SURE NO CHOCOLATE CHIP TOUCHES THE PAN OR THEY WILL BURN AND TASTE BITTER. Brush the top of each scone with a bit of cream and sprinkle with a little of turbinado sugar.

  4. 4

    Bake for 22 minutes, or until the scones are puffed and golden brown. Serve.

My mother was a very good home cook, which made me appreciate homemade food to this day.
