Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter 1 stick
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up. Fit the food processor with a steel blade.
  • Slice a stick of butter into 8 pieces and add to food processor.
  • Also add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Close up food processor and alternate with blending for 10 seconds and pulsing 20 times. Finish off with about a minute of blending or until the flour and butter are combined into small pieces.
  • Then add milk and vanilla. Blend ingredients again for about 15-20 seconds or until dough becomes a ball inside the food processor.
  • Use a spoon to move the dough ball to a bowl. Add in chocolate chips by hand. Then shape the dough into a ball and lay it out on a preparation surface.
  • Press until flattened and use a butter knife to slice into 8 segments.
  • Lay scone dough pieces on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in oven for 21 minutes.
  • Check scone doneness by piercing one in the middle with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, then the scones are done baking.
  • Allow scones to cool before serving.

Notes

  • Add chocolate chips by hand as the food processor would chop them up
  • You may need to use your fingers to shape the dough triangles
  • If, at the end of baking time, the scones are not done, simply bake for another few minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the scones are baked throughout
