Buttermilk scones sweetened just to perfection studded with chocolate chips. Kind of like eating a giant chocolate chip cookie for breakfast… without the guilt.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all purpose flour (Bob’s Red Mill)
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour (Bob’s Red Mill)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp chilled butter (must be cold) cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- cooking spray
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Combine the first four ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.
- Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Combine flour, baking powder, salt, in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cut in chilled butter with a pastry blender, or you could use 2 knives, until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips. Add milk mixture, stirring just until moist.
- Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly four times with floured hands.
- Form dough into an 9-inch circle onto baking sheet, about 3/4″ thick.
