Description

These Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Scones are the ultimate indulgent treat for coffee lovers and chocolate enthusiasts alike. Combining deep, earthy cocoa powder with generous chunks of bittersweet chocolate, each bite offers a luxurious texture that is both tender and slightly crumbly. The high heat baking method ensures a crisp, golden exterior while keeping the interior soft and moist. Perfect for weekend brunches, afternoon tea, or as a comforting dessert, these scones bring a homemade bakery feel to your table. They pair beautifully with a strong cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk, making them a versatile addition to any menu.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450&# 194;°F (230ðC) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Cut the cold unsalted butter into 12 small cubes and add them to the dry ingredients.
  4. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine cornmeal with some larger pea-sized pieces.
  5. Fold in the coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate or chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk (or milk) until smooth.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the dry mixture and gently stir with a fork until a soft, shaggy dough just begins to form. Do not overmix.
  8. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into three equal portions.
  9. Shape each portion into a 5-inch round disk, about 3/4 inch thick.
  10. Using a sharp, floured knife, cut each disk into four equal wedges to create 12 scones total.
  11. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  12. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the scones are firm to the touch and lightly golden, but still moist inside.
  13. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serving warm.
