Eversince I saw that episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S wherein Ross smashed that piece of scone in his fury over his ex-wife Emily, I was intrigued. As I have written before I like having tea and what better way to enjoy an afternoon cuppa tea than with dainty baked British pastry to go with it. I love Harry Potter, I love their accent and though it is on a completely unrelated level, sometimes I just like to pretend I am having afternoon tea under the sun in a frilly girly dress, sipping tea from a dainty fine cup with my pinky sticking up.
Chocolate Chip Scones
ingredients:
-2 cups white all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons cold butter, sliced
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or morsels
how to:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl combine the flour, baking
powder, salt and sugar
- cut the butter into the flour
mixture with a fork or pastry cutter.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg then add the vanilla
and milk.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and mix well then add in the
chocolate chips. Form a ball.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
and shape the ball of dough in a circle onto the baking
sheet. Flatten with hands then use a pizza cutter to slice into 8
triangular pieces. Separate them using a spatula. Bake at 375 degrees
for 15-20 minutes.
I didn't have vanilla extract so I used strawberry essence instead, not much different in taste but you get a slight hint of strawberry scent - strawberry and chocolate? works for me!
all mixed up
why stop at simple scones when you can bring it up a notch and make it fancier by drizzling it with melted chocolate and sugar glaze
yum-mmy!
