Triple Chocolate Scones

I was in the mood to try some different scone recipes again this year.  Last year I discovered them getting ready for the Olympics.  Scones are nice because they are not real sweet and they are easy to make.  There's a wide variety of recipes for them too.

Three kinds of chocolate make these so yummy.

Start with 2/3 cup cream or milk.  I used milk because that is what I had.

1 egg lightly beaten.

1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix well and set aside.

In another bowl add 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

1/4 cup Dutch processed unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup sugar

2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix that together well.

Cut in 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter.  Cut it into pieces before you add it.

Using a pastry cutter cut the butter into the flour mixture.

Add the liquid ingredients to the dry.

Add 1/3 cup white chocolate chips and 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips.  I guess I did not get a picture of that.  Pat out on a floured surface and cut out.  Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and place in a preheated 375 oven.  Bake for about 15- 20 minutes.  If you make yours thinner you will want to cook them less time.

Fresh from the oven.  You can serve with the Devonshire cream that I posted last year.
