Chocolate-Almond Scones
Servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar plus more for sprinkling on top
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate coarsely chopped, such as Callebaut chocolate
- ½ cup chopped almonds optional
- 1¼ cups heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons butter cold and cut into very small pieces
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream for brushing the tops
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with a double layer of parchment paper and preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, chocolate, and almonds, if using.
- Make a well and add heavy cream and butter. Mix together with a spoon until you have a shaggy looking dough (the butter will still be visible), if the dough doesn’t come together, add a teaspoon of cream.
- Dump dough onto a countertop or large cutting board and pat together to form a rectangle about a half-inch thick.
- Cut about 12 squares and place on prepared pan.
- Brush tops with milk and sprinkle sugar on top.
- Bake at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway, until golden brown.
- Cool before serving. Serve with butter, jam, cream cheese, peanut butter, or anything your heart desires.
there is a universal kitchen law that you have to substitute more than 1 ingredient it is better if you dont do the recipe. 🙂
Ok, maybe it is not a law, but it should be! by the time you figure out a substitute for cream (there really isn’t one) and then the butter…the recipe is something else…so, make something else!
what I am saying is that there are too many substitutions and it just wont be as good.
I suppose you can try coconut cream for the cream and coconut oil for the butter and see, a whole new recipe is born.
enjoy!
what can I substitute for all the dairy items if I want to make this pareve?
