📝 Preparation Steps
1
Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Combine the 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, 1 Tbsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 2 tsp. sugar in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the ½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips and toss to coat.
(250 g) all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface2 cups. baking powder1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt1 tsp
3
Add ¾ cup heavy cream and stir well, using a large spatula or your hands. Add an additional ¼ cup heavy cream, a few teaspoons at a time, until a soft, manageable dough forms. (You may not need to use the entire cup of cream.)
4
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough briefly, about ⏱️ 30 seconds, just until it sticks together. There should be as little handling as possible. Gently form dough into a ball and lightly dust it with a little flour. Sprinkle a little more flour on the work surface and using a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 1-inch-thick round 8–9” in diameter.
5
Cut dough into desired shapes. Gather up the scraps, reroll, and cut more scones until the dough is used up. Pat the scones lightly to smooth the tops.
6
Place scones about 2” apart on the prepared baking sheet. Using a small pastry brush, brush the tops of the scones with ¼ cup heavy cream and sprinkle with 2–3 Tbsp. sugar. Bake the scones for 15 to ⏱️ 18 minutes, or until the tops spring back when pressed lightly and the bottoms are golden brown.
7
Remove the scones from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool for at least ⏱️ 5 minutes before serving. Editor’s note: Head this way for our favorite blueberry scones and more easy scone recipes →
