Jumbo Chocolate Chip Scones

A good scone with a good cup of coffee. I made a batch of these which I took to work, because I wanted to spread the love, and let me tell you these babies were a success. These Jumbo Chocolate Chip Scones were gone in no time.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of all purpose flour + extra for dusting
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons of white sugar
• 4 tablespoons of butter, cold
• 6 ounces of cold heavy cream
• 2 ounces of cold milk *whole or 2 percent works best*
• 6 ounces of jumbo chocolate chips

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Sift 2 cups of flour into a large mixing bowl.
• Sift baking powder and sugar into the mixing bowl.
• Discard any lumps!
• Give the dry ingredients a good stir to make sure they are all well mixed.
• Grate 4 tablespoons of butter with a cheese grater, grating directly into the dry mixture.
• Stir everything up, making sure the butter incorporates into the mix, but you do not need to heavily mix yet!
• Now add 2 ounces of milk, and give everything a stir.
• Add 6 ounces of heavy cream and the chocolate chips.
• Mix everything up, so that the ingredients are incorporated evenly.
• Now, give your work area a dusting of flour.
• Pull the scones dough out of the bowl, onto the floured area and knead it with your hands until the dough doesn’t stick to your hands.
• You can sprinkle a touch more flour onto the dough, if the dough feels too sticky.
• Pat it out with your hands, or a rolling pin (although this is really unnecessary and just creates an extra dish to wash!) until it is about an inch thick.
• Cut the dough into 8 sections.
• Place on a baking sheet. You can line this with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to keep clean up a breeze.
• Bake in a 400-degree oven for about 25-28 minutes.
• Serve and enjoy.
