Dark Chocolate Chip, Cherry And Pistachio Scones
- FOR THE SCONES:
- 1/2 cups Roughly Chopped Dried Cherries
- 1/4 cups Chopped Shelled Pistachios
- 2-1/8 cups All-purpose Flour, Divided (plus More For Dusting)
- 2 whole Eggs, Lightly Beaten
- 1/2 cups Whole Milk
- 1/8 cups Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1-1/2 stick (3/4 Cup) Unsalted Butter, Cubed And Chilled
- 1/2 cups (heaping) Dark Chocolate Chips
- FOR THE EGG WASH:
- 1 whole Egg
- 2 Tablespoons Whole Milk
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1/4 cups Powdered Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Whole Milk
- 1 dash Real Vanilla Extract
- Preheat your oven to 400 F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the chopped cherries and pistachios in a small bowl and toss with an eighth cup of all purpose flour and set aside.
- Combine the two eggs and the 1/2 cup of milk in a small bowl, set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the remaining two cups of flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Drop in the cold butter and using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse, wet sand.
- Add the egg/milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Fold in the nuts, cherries and dark chocolate chips.
- Flour a clean surface and rolling pin. Drop the dough down on to the floured surface and knead into a ball. Use your rolling pin and roll the dough out to a half-inch thick. Use a 3-inch round cutter and cut as many circles of dough you can. Use the scraps to make more scones.
- In a small bowl whisk together one whole egg and two tablespoons whole milk to make the egg wash.
- Brush with the egg wash and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are golden, rotate the pan halfway through baking. Remove the scones immediately to a wire rack and let cool.
- Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and when the scones have cooled, dunk the tops into the glaze.
- Enjoy!
