Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter (cold)
• ¹⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• 1 Egg
• ¹⁄₄ cup Milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee granules.
3. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
7. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
8. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch (5 cm) thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
10. Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
11. Dust the scones with powdered sugar before serving.
