English Scones With Chocolate Chunks image

These are a very moist and tender scone. More cake like than biscuit like. I stole it away from a co-worker of my husbands. He says you must use Bluebonnet margarine no subs and as I wanted the texture to taste the same I have tried no other. I plan on trying these with berries and perhaps almonds too. If you like your scones on the sweeter side I would add another 2-3 T sugar.

Time 20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup sugar
5 tablespoons slightly chilled butter (use bluebonnet margarine)
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chunk
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Mix first four ingredients together with a fork like you would pastry dough. Cut the dough till the margarine is pretty much unnoticeable.
  • Mix in Chocolate chunks.
  • Stir in the cream, if it seems a little dry add a little more cream, but NO more than 1/4 cup.
  • Use your hands to roll the dough till all flour is mixed in (adding cream if needed).
  • Form into a flat, even circle. Cut into 12 "pie" pieces.
  • Place each piece separately on a sprayed cookie sheet allowing enough space for each to raise a bit. Brush tops with more cream. Sprinkle with sugar crystals and bake in a 350 oven no more than 19 minutes. The bottom edges will just be turning brown. DO NOT over bake or they will harden.
