Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425&# 194;°F (220ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  3. Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks evenly throughout the dry ingredients.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and gently mix with a fork or spatula just until the dough comes together; do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
  7. Use a knife or biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8-12 triangular wedges or rounds.
  8. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
