Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Extra cream for brushing

Coarse sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

      Cut in the Butter: Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until well mixed.

          Form the Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing! Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

            Shape the Scones: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges, like a pizza, and carefully move them onto the prepared baking sheet.

              Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.

                Bake: Bake the scones for about 15-18 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool and Serve: Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with butter, clotted cream, or jam!
