On the upside, before I left I made some chocolate chip scones and really do need to share them. Any recipe that lets me eat chocolate in the morning is a definite must in my cookbook, remember the chocolate chip coffee cake?
I was a little apprehensive to make scones, as they have had a bad reputation in my head for being stale, hard, and too dense. Not these babies, they were very fluffy and moist right out of the oven and for the few days they lasted in my pantry.
Chocolate Chip Scones
3 and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp and 1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chips
2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
2 tbsp butter, melted
additional granulated sugar for sprinkling
Transfer triangles to prepared pan, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm or store in air-tight container.
You can also prepare these the night before, by placing triangles onto pan and wrapping in plastic wrap overnight. Remove from fridge in the morning and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Thank you to Brown Eyed Baker for a great introduction to scones!
Besides being able to make these in advance, I think the best part is how easy the recipe is. No nonsense, one bowl, one pan, woohoo! What is your favorite scone recipe? Has anyone baked lavender scones before?
These look like chocolate studded wonders! Thank you for sharing with us despite your technical difficulties.
