Blackberry and Dark Chocolate Chip Scones
364kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup blackberries rinsed and dried
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp heavy cream for glazing
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into 1 inch pieces (best if European butter is used)
Method
- Preheat oven to 450°
- Blend dry ingredients in a bowl and add the cut butter. Blend until crumbly with a pastry cutter
- Freeze the entire bowl for about ten minutes
- Remove the bowl from the freezer and add the heavy cream and sour cream. Mix with a fork or scraper about 8 times
- Add the chocolate chips and the blackberries and fold again until blended
- Put parchment paper over the bowl and gently tip the contents into the parchment paper. Gently knead about five times until a little more mixed and either cut or shape the mixture into scones. I use a scone pan that makes great scone wedges.
- Glaze with heavy cream and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
- Let these cool completely before removing from pan. These need to set a bit
