Double Choc Scones


I made these the other day - they were a hit!!!!!!


I will pop back with the recipe sometime over the weekend.
Now DONT take this recipe as gospel - it was adapted by someone on the net somewhere so I tried it - they left a few things out so I just adapted it again..........LOL.
DOUBLE CHOC MUD SCONES
1 3/4 cup plain flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup caster sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
5 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup choc chips
Milk and 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Combine sifted flour, cocoa, caster sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Rub in the butter to form breadcrumbs. I added half the pack of Home Brand Choc Chips (you can go as light or as heavy as you like at this stage......LOL) Then form a well in the centre of the mix and slowly add milk and vanilla essence (this is the ingredient that was left out of the recipe - doh). I just added a little each time until it was the consistency of normal scones - slightly tacky - don't make it too dry.
Knead on a lightly floured board/bench, cut using a cookie cutter of your choice.
Pop in the oven 190 degrees for about 10-15 mins. Keep checking so they don't burn on the bottoms.
You may like to tweak this recipe a little - I had to. The scones are rather dense rather than light in texture. The kids and Sean raved over them and said they are "goers" for sure. Enjoy.

I actually tasted my first mud scone at Bakers Delight and thought "I must be able to make these" - so I did!!!!!

If you attempt them, pop back in and let me know what you think and if you altered the recipe to make it that little bit better.

Mmm, these look seriously decadent Sandie! Do you still put butter on them like a regular scone?

Sandie said...

No - no "knead"....ha,ha, for butter Lyn they are just great on their own.

you can sprinkle with a bit of icing sugar if you like.

Not saying you couldn't put butter on them - but you really dont need it. Sean always likes heaps of butter on his scones but not with these ones.
