Chocolate Chip Scones

(12 servings) Printable Version

2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter - cool and cut into small pieces
1 large egg - beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup Whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
heavy cream - about 1/8 to 1/4 cup for brushing

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the white flour, wheat flour, sugar, baking powder,cinnamon and salt. Mix well.

Cut the butter into the bowl until the mixture resembles course sand. Break the egg into a 1-cup measure and add milk to make 2/3 cup.

In a seperate small bowl, mix egg and milk.

Add egg/milk and chocolate chips to the big bowl and mix with fingers into a ball shape. Continuing to use hands, knead the dough 6 or 7 times and then break into 2 equal portions.

Place each lump of dough on it's own greased cookie sheet. Press down to create a thick disk.

Score each disc into 6 wedges. Brush with heavy cream.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in a thicker part of one of the scones. If the toothpick comes out batter-free then the scones are done.

Makes 12 scones. Best when still slightly warm. As good as any bakery I know! Enjoy.

A "healthier" option to traditional scones because you don''t have to use heavy cream, etc. I also substituted Smart Balance for the butter and coated the tops with 1% milk instead of cream. Really great scones!!
