Simple Chocolate & Pistachio Scones

🧂 Ingredients

• 3⅔ cups All purpose flour
• 2½ tablespoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• ⅓ cups Butter – softened
• ¼ cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk – 2% milk, whole
• ½ cup Dark chocolate – chopped
• ½ cup Pistachios – roasted and chopped
• ½ cup Pistachio cream*

Instructions

• 1 Pre-heat the oven to 350℉ (180℃). Roast the pistachios on a baking sheet for
  about 5-6 minutes. Transfer immediately to a clean bowl to cool. Once the nuts
  are cooled, coarsely chop and set aside.
• 2 Raise the oven temperature to 425℉ (218℃). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
• 3 In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add butter and
  rub it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the
  sugar and mix everything together.
• 4 In a small bowl add the eggs and milk and stir together. Place 2 tablespoons of
  the egg mixture aside to glaze the scones later. Gradually add the egg mixture
  to the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork until almost combined and fold in
  the chocolate and pistachios pieces. Mix until you have a soft dough. The mix
  should be on the wet side and sticky.
• 5 Turn the dough onto a lightly floured flat surface and flatten it with your hand
  or rolling pin to a thickness of ½-¾ inch.
• 6 Use a cookie cutter to make round scones. Dip the cookie cutter into the flour
  before cutting out your scones so the dough doesn't stick to it.
• 7 Place the scones on top of the prepared baking sheets and brush the tops with
  the reserved egg mixture to glaze.
• 8 Bake for 10-15 minutes or until well risen and golden. When ready, transfer to a
  wire rack to cool. Drizzle with some pistachio cream on top before serving with
  butter or some more pistachio cream. Enjoy!
