List of Ingredients




2 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, chilled (don't substitute)
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate pieces
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup milk

Recipe



1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt.
2. Cut in butter. Stir in chocolate. Mix egg and milk; add to dry mixture. Stir till just moistened. Form into a ball.
3. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for 12 to 15 strokes or till nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2- to 3-inch cutter or cut into squares. Place 1 inch apart on a greased baking sheet.
4. Bake the scones in a 375 degree F oven 15 to 18 minutes or until golden. Remove; cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
5. Mix together the icing. Drizzle over scones. Serve warm. Makes 12 servings.
Icing: In mixing bowl, mix 1 cup sifted powdered sugar and 1/4 teaspoons vanilla. Stir in 1 tablespoon milk. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it's a drizzling consistency.
