A yummy chocolate scone with chocolate chips. I served these as an alternate to shortcakes for strawberry shortcake. Very good! Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
5 tablespoons butter, cut into small slices (must use butter and it must be cold) |
1 large egg, beaten lightly |
1 cup sour cream (can use light sour cream or plain yogurt) |
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and cocoa. Mix well.
3. Cut in the cold butter pieces with a pastry blender or two knifes until the butter is in tiny chunks the size of pennies.
4. In another bowl beat egg lightly with a fork, add sour cream and mix well. Add wet mixture to middle of dry mixture.
5. Add chocolate chips and mix until flour mix is just moistened and forms a ball. You may need to add 1-2 Tbsp milk if dough is too dry.
6. Knead a few times and turn dough ball out onto prepared pan.
7. Press into a flat circle that is 2 thick.
8. With a sharp knife, cut in four “pie” sections, then cut each section in half again.
9. Bake in 400F oven for 15 minutes. Cool on pan.
