Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter and peanut butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times until it comes together. Pat into a 7-inch circle about 1-inch thick.
- Cut into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, ensure all ingredients (especially butter and peanut butter) are cold to achieve a flaky texture.
- Do not overwork the dough to avoid tough scones.
- These scones are best enjoyed the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For a richer flavor, you can use chunky peanut butter and/or dark chocolate chips.
