Equipment
- Mixing bowls: Different sizes for mixing different ingredients.
- Baking sheet: This is where the magic happens. I like to use a non-stick one!
- Parchment paper: Keep the scones from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Pastry cutter: To mix the butter into the flour. A fork works too, but this makes it easier!
- Measuring cups and spoons: Accuracy is key for a successful recipe.
- Whisk and spatula: Essential tools for smooth mixing and flipping the dough.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour: The base of our scones.
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder: Adds that dark Dracula vibe.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder: Helps the scones rise.
- 1/2 cup sugar: Sweetens up the scones just right.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter: Cold and cubed for perfect texture.
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips: The star ingredient for extra chocolatey goodness. 🍫
- 1/2 cup milk: Make sure it's cold to keep the dough light.
- 1 egg: Binds the ingredients together.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: For that extra hint of flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar.
- Cut in butter: Add the cold cubed butter, using a pastry cutter or fork until the mix looks like coarse crumbs.
- Add chocolate chips: Stir them into the dry mix.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour into the dry mix.
- Form the dough: Mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Shape the scones: Transfer dough to a floured surface. Shape into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut into 8 wedges.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes. The scones should be firm and slightly golden.
Notes
Storage Tip: Keep scones in an airtight container. They'll stay fresh for up to two days. Add a piece of bread to keep them soft.
