It’s always fun to start a special day with a special breakfast treat! Whether it’s a milestone birthday, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or another occasion, these Chocolate Chip Scones are worthy of a celebration (they also make a delicious snack), compliments of local food blogger and cookbook author, Brianne Grajkowski.
INGREDIENTS
Cooking spray
3/4 cup half & half
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
2½ cups all-purpose flour + more for kneading
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp chilled butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1 large egg white
1½ tbsp sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Combine the half & half, sugar, vanilla and egg in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.
- In a separate large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir with a whisk.
- Cut chilled butter into flour mixture. Mix butter well with hands. Add milk mixture, stirring just until moist.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly four times with floured hands. Form dough into an 9-inch circle on baking sheet, about 3/4" thick. Using a knife, slice dough into 8 wedges all the way through.
- Brush egg white on all pieces and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden on the edges.
