How to Make Chocolate Almond Scones
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and ½ cup heavy cream.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup toasted sliced almonds.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 3/4-inch thick circle.
- Cut the circle into 8 wedges or diamond shapes.
- Brush the tops of the scones with a beaten egg (reserve some egg from step 4).
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy!
