What You Need
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into cubes or grated
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 cup strawberries, quartered
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- Extra sugar for sprinkling
What You Do
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, mix together flour (2 1/2c), sugar (2tbsp), baking powder (1 1/2tsp), baking soda (1 1/2tsp), and salt (1/2tsp). Then add the cubed butter and cut the butter in until dough is crumbly. Or if you want life to be just a tad bit simple, use a cheese grater to cut up the butter and then just incorporate the butter into the mixture until crumbly (dip your hands in flour to help prevent butter from melting).
3. In a small bowl, beat together the milk (1c) and egg (1). Then add to flour mixture and mix well with a fork.
4. Add the strawberries (1c) and chocolate chips (1/2c) and incorporate into the mixture.
5. Place dough onto a floured surface and form into a disk shape. Cut dough into 8 triangles.
6. Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden.
