Deerfield Inn Chocolate Chip Scones: Breakfast-Brunch

Servings: 8

Prep time:apx 1/2 hr

Ingredients:

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 1/3 cup chilled unsalted butter

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1/2 cup, 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream

  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 375 ° degrees. Grease a baking sheet or use parchment paper.

Step 2:

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and blend into the flour mixture with a pastry blender. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs. In a small bowl combine the whipping cream, beaten egg and vanilla. Add this mixture to the flour mixture along with the chocolate chips. Blend with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 3:

Knead dough gently on a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat the dough in a circle 7” round and 1 ½” thick. Cut this circle into 8 triangular sections. Place the scones on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, one inch apart. Make a mixture of one well-beaten egg with 1 tablespoon heavy cream. Brush the scones with this mixture and prick the tops with a fork.

Step 4:

Bake at 375 ° for approx. 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve hot. (These scones freeze very well.)

Step 5:

Serve with crème fraiche and raspberry jam. Clotted cream is great if you can find it! Enjoy.
