Chocolate Chip Scones

Ingredients

• 1 c. all-purpose flour
• 3 T. sugar
• 1 1/2 t. baking powder
• Dash salt
• 2 T. cold butter
• 1 egg
• 3 T. heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 c. miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. In a small bowl, combine the egg and cream; stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the chocolate chips.
3. Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times. Pat into a 6-inch circle. Cut the dough into six wedges.
4. Separate the wedges and place one inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
5. Bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.
