1 cup(s) all purpose flour or whole wheat flour
1/4 cup(s) sugar or sugar substitute
1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt or to taste

3/4 cup(s) plus one tablespoon cold heavy cream (i used evaporated milk-low fat)
2 ounce(s) dark chocolate, roughly chopped
1/3 cup(s) chopped toasted hazelnuts

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together hazelnut flour, all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Quickly cut butter into dough until it is the size of small peas. This may also be done in a food processor. Stir in heavy cream just until incorporated. Mix in chocolate chunks and hazelnuts.
Form dough into 12 balls. Use a rolling pin to quickly flatten them to about 1/2 inch thick. Place on prepared baking sheet. Dust with sugar if using.
Bake scones until golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on a rack.
