CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES
5 T. salted butter, cold
2 c. self-rising flour
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
1 handful semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pre-heat oven to 450 F
Combine butter, flour, and sugar in the blender. Run at high speed until butter is chopped to fine pieces. Transfer to stand mixer. Add remaining ingredients and knead for just a minute or two (just until all of the ingredients are incorporated into the dough). Turn out the dough and pat to form an 8″ circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Bake 16-18 minutes until golden brown.
Alternative: If you want the scones extra sweet, sprinkle some additional sugar on the top prior to placing in the oven.
