# Ingredients Required:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
240 grams all-purpose flour
02 -
50 grams granulated sugar
→ Fat
03 -
110 grams unsalted butter, cold
→ Add-ins
04 -
120 grams semisweet chocolate chips
→ Liquids
05 -
180 milliliters buttermilk
06 -
5 milliliters pure vanilla extract
# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar until evenly distributed.
02 -
Cut the cold unsalted butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
03 -
Pour the buttermilk and vanilla extract into the mixture and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain tenderness. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat into a 20 cm round about 3 cm thick, and cut into 8 wedges.
04 -
Place the wedges onto a parchment-lined baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use very cold butter to create flaky layers and prevent overworking the dough to keep scones tender.
