Categories     Chocolate     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 17

Scones:
3 oz milk chocolate, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces
6 oz bittersweet chocolate, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
Glaze:
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the milk chocolate, cocoa powder and sugar to the bowl of your food processor. (You'll need a fairly big food processor - mine is 14 cups. If yours is smaller, I might switch to a stand mixer after grinding the chocolate.) Pulse until the chocolate is finely ground. Check the consistency of the mixture after every few pulses- overprocessing will cause the chocolate to melt. Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the food processor and pulse 5 or 6 times to mix completely. Add the butter cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10-12 pulses. Add the bittersweet chocolate to the bowl (don't pulse to incorporate yet). In a measuring cup combine the egg and milk and use a fork to break up the egg and incorporate. Add this mixture to the food processor and pulse 3 or 4 times to incorporate in the dough. The dough will not have come together completely yet, that's fine. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Fold it over on itself a few times to bring it together. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Shape each into a 5-inch disk. Cut each disk into 4 wedges. Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between them. (I froze mine for about 15 minutes here, just to be sure the ingredients were cold and the scones would maintain their shape, but you don't have to.) Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the scones have risen and are slightly firm to the touch on top. To make the glaze: Combine the peanut butter and butter in a small saucepan and set over medium-low heat. Whisking frequently, cook until the mixture is melted and smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and combined, then gradually add the milk until you reach a thick, but pourable, consistency for glazing. Drizzle over the scones and allow to set.
