Total Time38 minutes
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup of butter, cold
Glaze Ingredients
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl in a large bowl with a whisk.
Mix egg and milk in a small bowl with a fork. Set aside.
**Do the remaining steps quickly to ensure the butter remains cold.**
Cut the butter into thin slices. Add it to the flour mixture and combine it in with clean hands. Rub the butter into very thin sheets and distribute it into the flour mixture. The butter shouldn't be fully incorporated and pieces should still be visible.
Add the wet egg/milk mixture into the large bowl. Fold it in with a spatula. It should form a ball of dough.
Spread the dough onto the baking pan and add the chocolate chips. Fold the dough multiple times. This will create the flaky layers characteristic of a scone.
Once folded, spread the dough into a long rectangle. Cut it into about 10 triangles. Bake for 17-19 minutes.
To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and milk together with a spoon. It should create a thick glaze. Add more to create the amount of glaze you desire!
When cooled, drizzle the glaze on top of the scones with a Ziploc bag.
