Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Scones

  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold & cut into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
  • 1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup (6 ounces) buttermilk
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg white (optional)
  • sanding sugar or sparkling sugar (optional)

 Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add butter and cut into flour mixture with a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
Whisk together buttermilk, egg yolk, and vanilla. Add to flour mixture, and stir until a dough forms.
Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Knead lightly for a few turns.
Gently pat the dough into a flat disk about 7 inches in diameter. Cut into 6-8 wedges.
Transfer wedges to prepared pan. For soft, higher-rising scones, leave the wedges close together in a circle. For crispier scones, separate the wedges. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sparkling sugar or sanding sugar.
Bake 18-25 minutes, or until light golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack.
