The best buttery Homemade Chocolate Chip Scones!
I recently made these delicious chocolate chip scones and I always forget how easy they are to make. Even if you're not a baker, scones are so easy to whip together. You can also use your hands to mix the dough together. Nothing fancy is required when it comes to this recipe. I'm all about simple and easy and that's just what these scones are. First thing you need to do with this recipe is mix up the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients like my photos above. I will go into detail in the recipe instructions below. I like to use my wooden spoon to mix my ingredients.
You need to use cold ingredients in this recipe
Cold ingredients need to be used in this recipe. Cold butter, cold heavy cream. I used a wire pastry blender to get my butter to mix into the flour properly followed by the wet mixture. Next I added the chocolate chips and then I followed this up by shaping the dough into a disc. If you're having trouble shaping the dough into a ball just keep trying to work it between your hands. I also used my measuring tape to make sure the disc of dough measured 8 inches horizontally. Cut the disc of dough and sprinkle each piece with some granulated sugar.
The scones should come out golden brown! I ate one of the scones fresh out of the oven and you can also brush some butter on top so it soaks right into the scone. If you're making this recipe for yourself, you'll have breakfast for the week you can take on-the-go! If you're sharing with family and friends, cut them in half so you can share.
