Chocolate Recipe of the Month
Chocolate Scones
From: Coffee Treats by Sharon O'Connor
Available at Tre Sorelle Cioccolato
1 egg
½ cup heavy cream or half and half
1 teas vanilla extract
1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup sugar
2 teas baking powder
¼ teas salt
1/3 cup cold, unsalted butter, cut into bits
Preheat the oven to 400° F.
1. In a medium bowl, beat the egg, cream or half-and-half, and vanilla together until blended; set aside
2. In a large bowl, stir the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined. 3. Using your fingers, a pastry blender, or 2 dinner knives, combine the butter with the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs
4. Add the flour mixture to the cream mixture and stir until the dough just comes together; do not overmix
5. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and pat into a ½-inch thick round; cut into 8 wedges
6. Transfer the scones to a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until firm on the edges and a little soft in the center.
