For breakfast or dessert, these brownielike sugar-crusted scones are addicting. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons dutch process cocoa (we tested with droste) |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into pieces |
1 cup whipping cream |
2 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, melted |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 tablespoon whipping cream or milk |
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar or sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients; cut butter into dry ingredients with a pastry blender until crumbly. Gradually add 1 cup whipping cream, melted chocolate, and vanilla, stirring with a fork just until dry ingredients are moistened. Knead dough in bowl 3 or 4 times to incorporate any flour or cocoa in bottom of bowl.
2. Pat dough into an 8 circle on a parchment-paper lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Cut into 8 wedges, using a sharp knife. (Do not separate wedges.) Brush with 1 tablespoon whipping cream, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
3. Bake at 425° for 19 to 20 minutes. (Center will be soft; do not overbake.) Serve warm.
