Chocolate Chip Scone Recipe: A Step-by-Step Guide

Indulge in homemade chocolate chip scones—fluffy, buttery, and loaded with melty chocolate! Here’s a simple recipe to bake them in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- ¼ cup granulated sugar

- 1 tbsp baking powder

- ½ tsp salt

- 6 tbsp cold butter, cubed

- ½ cup milk (or buttermilk for tanginess)

- 1 large egg

- ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep: Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Dry Mix: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

3. Cut in Butter: Add cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat egg and milk. Pour into the flour mixture, stir gently until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

5. Shape & Bake: Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead 2–3 times, then pat into a 1-inch-thick circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Place on the sheet, brush with milk, and bake 15–18 minutes until golden.

Tips: For extra flavor, add vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon. Serve warm with clotted cream or jam. Enjoy your bakery-worthy treat!
