Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and butter mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
-
Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
-
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
