Easy Double Chocolate Scones

These are for the ultimate chocolate lover!

My scones are not the typical scones that are shaped and cut into wedges before baking them. Ive always felt that scone batter needs as little mixing as possible to keep it from being to tough later.

Double Chocolate Scones

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 cup + 1 tbsp of granulated sugar (Zulka brand was fantastic in this)

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup Butter cut into pieces (salted or unsalted butter is fine)
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs

Preheat oven at 375

In mixer with paddle attachment stir all dry ingredients together SLOWLY.

Add in butter a few pieces at a time while mixing.

Let it mix till it looks like a course meal.

Add chocolate chips and let mix till evenly distributed.

Separate bowl: Combine Eggs and buttermilk -whisk together.

Add to dry ingredients while mixing slowly - only mix it just enough to distribute.

Drop by heaping spoonfuls which measures to about 1/3 of a cup of dough for each scone. Drop dough onto un-greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.

Bake for about 15 minutes, they will look puffy and the shine will be gone. They really don't rise too much.

DON'T over-bake! Dust powdered sugar over the scones for a nice finishing touch!

Thanks, Enjoy!
