Chocolate Chip Scones

I feel like posting a picture of a bottle of vodka would be more accurate for a Monday, but since most of you wouldn’t appreciate it as much as I would, here’s a non-drink-your-calories recipe. I came across it on skinnytaste.com (per usual) and it’s delicious.

3/4 cup cold buttermilk

1/4 cup sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup white whole wheat flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3 tbsp chilled butter (must be cold) cut into small pieces

3/4 cup chocolate chips

cooking spray

1 large egg white, lightly beaten

1 1/2 tbsp sugar

Preheat oven to 375°

Combine first four ingredients in bowl with whisk. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl with whisk. Cut in chilled butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.

Fold in chocolate chips. Add milk mixture, stirring until moist.

Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly four times.

Form dough into a 9-inch circle on baking sheet, about 3/4” thick.

Using a knife, cut dough into twelve wedges all the way through.

Brush dough with egg white and evenly sprinkle sugar.

Bake until golden, about 18-20 minutes.
