Chocolate Chip Scones

🧂 Ingredients

• 3⅔ Cups All purpose flour
• 2½ Tablespoons Baking powder
• 1 Teaspoon Salt
• ⅓ Cups Salted butter – soft
• ¼ Cup Sugar
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1 Cup Milk
• ½ Cup Dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

• 1 Pre-heat the oven to 425F (220C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
• 2 In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the butter
  and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add
  in the sugar and mix everything together.
• 3 In a medium bowl add the eggs and the 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 chunks. Mix until you have a soft dough. The
  mixture should be on the wet side and sticky.
• 4 Turn the dough onto a lightly floured flat surface and flatten it with your hand
  or a rolling pin to a thickness of 1/2-3/4 inch. Use a cookie cutter to make
  round scones. Dip the cookie cutter into the flour before cutting out your
  scones so that the dough doesn’t stick to it. Gently push the remaining dough
  together, knead lightly, then re-roll and cut out more scones.
• 5 Place the scones on top of the prepared baking sheets and brush the tops with
  the reserved egg mixture to glaze. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until well risen
  and golden. When ready, transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve them cut in half
  and spread with butter and jam. Enjoy!
