Make scones just like those from your local coffeehouse at home. They are delicious served warm with a good cup of coffee or tea. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour |
2/3 cup sugar |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into chunks |
2 eggs |
3/4 cup sour cream |
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract |
6 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Beat eggs, sour cream and vanilla in medium bowl with wire whisk until well blended.
3. Add to flour mixture; stir until a soft dough forms. Stir in chopped chocolate.
4. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead about 1 minute or until smooth.

6. Cool slightly on wire rack.
