Chocolate Chip Scones
- Level: Easy
- Yield: 8 scones
- Total: 55 min (includes cooling time)
- Active: 25 min
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups baking mix, such as Bisquick, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons salted butter, diced and chilled
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk
Splash vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Icing:
1/2 cup milk
Splash vanilla extract
3 cups sifted powdered sugar
Pinch kosher salt
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Mix together the baking mix and brown sugar in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the baking mix until fine crumbs form. Mix together the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla in a small pitcher. While mixing with a fork, slowly add the wet mix to the dry until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Form into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle, then into 4 equal squares. Cut each square in half, creating 8 triangles. Transfer the triangles to the baking sheet and bake until lightly browned, about 18 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly.
- For the icing: While the scones cool, mix together the milk, vanilla, powdered sugar and salt in a bowl until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing over the cooled scones, then sprinkle with the mini chocolate chips. Allow the icing to set slightly before eating.
