📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender (or your hands) until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
baking powder1 tablespoon
3
Toss in zucchini and mini chocolate chips and coat lightly with the flour mixture.
grated zucchini (, excess water pressed out)1 cup
4
Add half and half and fold together gently until the mixture just begins to come together and form a soft dough. It will be wet. (Do not knead or over mix the dough.)
5
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick circle. (If dough is very sticky, sprinkle with just a hint of flour.)
6
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 6 (or 8) equal triangles.
7
Place scones on prepared baking sheet and bake ⏱️ 16-18 minutes or until no longer wet, golden, and cooked through. (All ovens run differently.)
8
Place a sheet of parchment on a work surface, then place a cooling rack over top of parchment. Remove scones from pan to cooling rack. Cool about ⏱️ 10 minutes.
9
In the meantime, make glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, half and half, and vanilla. (If glaze is too thick, add a bit more half and half. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar.)
vanilla1 teaspoon
10
Generously drizzle scones with the glaze. (Glaze will firm up when scones are completely cool.) Eat and enjoy!
