Ingredients
Scale
- 10 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 12 1/2 ounces
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
- dash salt (omit if you are using salted butter)
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (I used mini)
- 2/3 cup (3 ounces) chopped pecans
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream, plus more for tops
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Optional Topping
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Coarse sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the diced chilled butter and work it into the dry mixture with your fingers or a pastry cutter. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.
- Combine the cream and vanilla and drizzle it over the dry mixture. Stir just until the dough is moistened.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times, until a soft dough has formed.
- Pat the dough out into a large circle or rectangle and cut out or slice to make the scones. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
- If desired, brush the scones with cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes.
- Makes about 18 to 24 scones.
