Try a delightful twist on a British favourite – Berry Chocolaty: Raspberry Chocolate Chip Scones. These treats are buttery and chocolatey. They’re perfect for breakfast or as a sweet snack any time.
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/3 cup of sugar
6 tablespoons of cold, unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
1/2 cup of chocolate chunks or chips
3/4 cup of fresh or frozen raspberries
1/2 cup of yogurt or buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Start by heating your oven to 375ºF. Take a large bowl and mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold, diced butter. Blend it with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until it looks like coarse crumbs. Then, stir in the chocolate and raspberries.
In another bowl, mix the yogurt or buttermilk, vanilla extract, and egg. Combine this with the dry ingredients gently.
Put the dough on a floured surface. Shape it into eight triangles or round scones, about 3-4 inches each. Place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix another beaten egg and a tablespoon of milk or cream for the egg wash. Brush this over the scones for a golden finish.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool a bit before serving.
