Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface and kneading
4 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
½ cup (114g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
⅔ cup (167ml) cold buttermilk, plus more for brushing top of scones
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
2-3 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinking (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • Work in the butter with a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse meal with a few larger pieces remaining. Toss in the chocolate chips. Set aside.
  • In a measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture. Gently stir with a rubber spatula until JUST combined and all appears to be moistened.
  • Scrape the dough onto a floured work surface. With floured hands, gently and quickly knead the dough into a ball. It doesn't have to be smooth. Rough and shaggy is good.
  • Pat into a 6″ circle and cut into 8 or 10 wedges and place 2″ apart onto a parchment paper or silicone mat lined baking sheet. Chill uncovered in the fridge for 20 minutes while you preheat your oven to 400F.
  • Brush the tops of the scones with more buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Time 55m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups baking mix, such as Bisquick, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons salted butter, diced and chilled
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk
Splash vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1/2 cup milk
Splash vanilla extract
3 cups sifted powdered sugar
Pinch kosher salt
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Mix together the baking mix and brown sugar in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the baking mix until fine crumbs form. Mix together the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla in a small pitcher. While mixing with a fork, slowly add the wet mix to the dry until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Form into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle, then into 4 equal squares. Cut each square in half, creating 8 triangles. Transfer the triangles to the baking sheet and bake until lightly browned, about 18 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly.
  • For the icing: While the scones cool, mix together the milk, vanilla, powdered sugar and salt in a bowl until smooth.
  • Drizzle the icing over the cooled scones, then sprinkle with the mini chocolate chips. Allow the icing to set slightly before eating.

THE FLUFFIEST, MOISTEST EVER CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES



The Fluffiest, Moistest Ever Chocolate Chip Scones image

This recipe is slightly modified from an all-star scone recipe on allrecipes.com There, it has over 1,000 5 star reviews, yet is not featured on this site at all! Before, having these scones, I'd never really encountered one I liked - they were always much too dry and crumbly. This scone recipe seriously changed my view on scones FOREVER. Plus it is super versatile. I use chocolate chips but feel free to subsitute, blueberries, dried fruit, nuts or whatever you can think of!

Time 25m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 egg
1 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, blend the sour cream and baking soda, and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Cut in the butter. Stir the sour cream mixture and egg into the flour mixture until just moistened. Mix in the chocolate chips.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly. Roll or pat dough into a 3/4 inch thick round. Cut into 12 wedges, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the bottom.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your scones.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the scones rise properly.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown. If you underbake them, they will be doughy in the middle.
  • Serve the scones warm with butter and jam. This is the best way to enjoy them!

Conclusion:

These chocolate chip scones are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are fluffy, moist, and packed with chocolate chips. They are also very easy to make, so you can enjoy them even on busy weeknights. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make treat, give these chocolate chip scones a try.
