Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- 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.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (5 cm) thick. Cut the circle 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 10 minutes before serving.
