Chocolate scones

   Scones are regarded as quick tea-bread that are made with baking powder as its leavening agent, unlike using yeast.  Slightly sweet, they are occasionally glazed.  This 'CHOCOLATE SCONES' is adapted from the book '100 Best Delecious Chocolate'  I must say that these scones were easy and quickly made.



Chocolate scones were crisp and nicely browned over the top, these were soft and layered inside.   I enjoyed them with tea.  Slightly sweet with bits of chocolate chunks in each bite, these scones were an treat indeed!  



Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 15 minutes
Yields - 4

Ingredients required


  • 70 gm / 21/2 oz butter
  • 280 gm/10 oz self-raising flour
  • 1 tbspn caster sugar
  • 55 gm/ 2 oz chocolate chips
  • Milk, as needed



Method


Pre-heat oven to 220 degree celsius.  Sift flour and add rub through butter till they resemble bread crumbs.  



Now add in chocolate and caster sugar.  


Add/ sprinkle milk as needed  and knead this into an soft dough.




Roll them into an rectangle, dusting with flour if needed.  Cut into nine rectangles.


Brush them with butter and bake for ten to fifteen minutes till done.  



Enjoy with tea.  :)


Happy Baking :)
