Chocolate Scones

Makes 8 scones

Ingredients
  

  • cups (281 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (21 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons (20 grams) baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup (113 grams) cold unsalted butter, finely cubed
  • 1 cup (170 grams) 60% cacao semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (120 grams) heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup (120 grams) whole milk
  • Chocolate Glaze (recipe follows)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or 2 forks, cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Add chocolate chips, cream, and milk, and working quickly, stir until a loose dough forms.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead a few times just until dough holds together. Pat into a 1-inch-thick circle. Cut dough into 8 wedges, and place on prepared pan. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Bake until tops are firm and scones sound hollow when tapped, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool on pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Drizzle Chocolate Glaze onto cooled scones, and let set before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Let frozen scones thaw at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
