Quick Guide to Scone Excellence

In thirty minutes or less, you might be enjoying these delectable chocolate scones!

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lay parchment paper over a baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt (if using).
3. Flake the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a box grater. Grated butter and flour mixture should resemble coarse crumbs when tossed with your hands.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the cream, egg, and vanilla essence. Gently whisk this wet mixture until just combined with the dry components using a rubber spatula. Avert over-combining.
5. Turn out the dough onto a flour-dusted surface and massage it into a ball to shape and cut. The less you work dough, the better. Form an 8–9-inch disk out of the dough ball, then cut it into 6–8 equal wedges using a sharp knife.
6. To bake and chill (optional), spread the scone wedges out on the baking sheet, leaving space between them. For a further flaky texture, chill them in the freezer for fifteen minutes before baking. Bake them straight away, otherwise. 18 to 20 minutes should be plenty to get the edges hard. Before adding the ganache, let the scones completely cool.
7. Stir the cream for the chocolate ganache in a high-power microwave for 25 seconds. Pour the chocolate chips onto a little dish and douse with the hot cream. When the minute has passed, whisk just until glossy and smooth.
8. Pour and enjoy!Swirl the chocolate ganache over the cooling scones to enjoy these delicious home-made treats.
