Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, cold
• ¹⁄₂ cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg

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, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the chocolate chips.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
7. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (5 cm) thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
8. Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
