They are flaky and buttery with lots of chocolate chips in every bite!
A Breakfast Favorite
Scones are a perfect breakfast filled with blueberries, cranberries or even cheddar!
This version is sweet and chocolaty while being light and flaky! They are great to make ahead and freeze well either before or after baking. Brush them with a simple glaze before serving for an extra touch of sweetness. Eat them warm with honey butter, pumpkin butter, or some decadent whipped strawberry butter.
Ingredients
FLOUR MIXTURE The dough for this recipe is a bit like biscuits but it contains egg. We use all purpose flour with a bit of baking powder (and sugar). BUTTER Ensure you use cold unsalted butter. The key is in the process of cutting in the butter with the flour to create the perfect ‘crumb’ which creates flaky layers. But, don’t worry, it’s easy! CHOCOLATE CHIPS Mini chocolate chips ensure chocolate in every bite. We prefer semi-sweet in this recipe. GLAZE Topped with a white glaze made from cream and powdered sugar, mini chocolate chip scones are the perfect breakfast pastry, brunch-time tea pastry, or pick me up in the afternoon!

Tips for Perfect Scones
The butter will perform better if it’s cut into very small cubes and blended into the flour mixture cold. Avoid overhandling the dough once it’s in the shaping step because the warmth of your hands will melt the butter and condense the dough. You want a light, airy scone that has plenty of air pockets. Freeze scones before baking if desired. Bake from frozen for 18-22 minutes.
