Warm, buttery, and filled with gooey pockets of chocolate, these chocolate chip scones are flaky, tender, and perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (250g) of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently with a wooden spoon. Fold in 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips.
  6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it—just enough to bring it together. Pat it into a round disk about 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick.
  7. Using a knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops with a little heavy cream for a golden finish. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to the touch.
  9. Let the scones cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Keep your butter cold for flaky layers.’, ‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough scones.’, ‘Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.’, ‘Test for doneness by checking for a light golden color and firmness.’, ‘You can freeze unbaked scones and bake them straight from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time.’]
