Chocolate Scone Recipes

ENGLISH ROYALTY CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. With a pastry blender or a large fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chocolate chips. Mix in the orange juice to form a dough.
• Turn out the dough on a floured surface. Pat or roll into a 9 inch circle about 1/2 inch thick. With a 2 1/2 inch fluted biscuit cutter, cut out 12 scones, pushing the dough scraps together for the last few, if necessary. Transfer the scones to the baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Move to wire racks to cool.

CHOCOLATE PECAN SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons flour with the chocolate and pecans and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the 4 cups flour, the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and, with the mixer on low speed, blend until the butter is the size of peas. Measure the cream in a 2-cup glass measuring cup, add the eggs, and beat until combined. With the mixer still on low, pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and combine just until blended. Add the chocolate and pecan mixture and mix just until combined. The dough will be very sticky.
• Dump the dough out onto a very well-floured surface and knead it a few times to be sure the chocolate and pecans are well distributed, adding a little flour so the dough doesn't stick to the board. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4 to 1 inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut the dough with a 3-inch plain round cutter and place the scones on the prepared sheet pans. Reroll the scraps and cut out more scones. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 20 minutes, switching the pans halfway through, until the tops are lightly browned and the insides are fully baked. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE COFFEE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, espresso powder, baking powder and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like damp sand with some larger pea-sized pieces of butter throughout.
• Make a well in the center of the flour and butter mixture. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the chopped espresso beans, if using, for garnish and sprinkle the remainder around the edge of the flour well. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, egg and vanilla. Pour the liquid ingredients into the well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the melted chocolate. Stir just until all the ingredients are moistened and dough begins to come together; it's okay if the mixture has some light and dark streaks. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently pat it together into a round about 7 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal triangular slices. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top of the dough and press gently to adhere.
• Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the scones are slightly firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into one comes out clean (a few small crumbs clinging to the toothpick are okay), 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, for serving, beat the mascarpone, granulated sugar and heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Serve the scones with a dollop of the mascarpone cream and a sprinkle of reserved espresso beans.

• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, and gently pat into a 18-by-3-inch rectangle about 1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife or a pastry wheel, cut the rectangle into six 3-inch squares. Place squares about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until the dough is very firm, at least 1 hour or overnight. (At this point, you can freeze the unbaked scones in a resealable plastic bag until ready to bake, up to 3 weeks.)
• Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolk with the remaining tablespoon heavy cream; brush over the tops of the scones and sprinkle generously with sanding sugar, if using. Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the sugar on top of the scones turns golden all over, or a cake tester inserted in the center of a scone comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
