Chocolate Coffee Scones
- 200 grams Cake flour
- 60 grams Strong bread flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tsp Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 50 grams Butter
- 50 ml Milk
- 1 tbsp Instant coffee
- 1 tbsp Boiling water
- 50 grams Chocolate chips
- 1 dash Cake flour for dusting
- Prepare your ingredients.
- Chill all the ingredients well in the fridge except for the ingredients.
- Cut the butter into 1 cm cubes.
- Mix the coffee powder with boiling water well and add milk.
- Cool this in the fridge.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour and sugar in a bowl and mix well with a whisk or chopsticks.
- Add the butter at this point and press the butter into the flour using a dough cutter or fork.
- Once mixed, use your fingertips (thumb and index finger) to rub more butter into the flour until the mixture resembles bread crumbles like in this picture.
- Make a well in the centre and add the egg and the milk coffee.
- Mix together using a cutting motion with rubber spatula.
- Add the chocolate chips before the mixture forms a soft dough.
- If it's too hard, add more milk.
- On the other hand, if it's too soft, add a small amount of cake flour.
- When the powder disappears, transfer onto a bench dusted with cake flour.
- Roll it out to 1.5 cm thick and 18 cm diameter with a rolling pin.
- Cut into 8 shapes like in this picture.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the scones on the paper, allowing space to expand between each.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 200C for 10-15 minutes.
- Bake until the scones puff and turn slightly golden brown!
- Cool them down on a wire rack.
- Tip: They're still nice when cool, but I recommend putting them in a toaster oven to warm them up.
- You can store them in the freezer.
