Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Gently fold in the chocolate chunks.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
-
Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
-
Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
