These scones are the easiest to make! I used a food processor to mix the dough, so much easier than mixing by hand, especially with cold butter and less mess!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Add the flour, sugar and baking powder to the processor bowl. Pulse the dry ingredients to incorporate. Add the cold butter, I cut the butter into chunks to distribute easier.
Pulse until the butter is incorporated and the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. Add in the heavy cream and beaten egg. Pulse until the mixture has come together, the dough will look rough. If it’s not quite coming together, add a teaspoon of heavy cream one at a time until it becomes a shaggy dough.
Turn the dough out on to a sheet of parchment. I place the parchment on top the sheet pan so it’s ready to go directly into the oven. Add the dark chocolate chips to the dough and gently knead into the dough with your hands. Flatten the dough into two 1/2 inch thick circles. Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut into wedges.
Separate the wedges on the parchment. Bake for 15 minutes, the bottoms of the scones should be lightly browned.
Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Serve immediately or freeze until ready to eat!
Hope you enjoy!!
