Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Hazelnuts (toasted and chopped)
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 7-inch round disk, about 1-inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.

Step 9

Place the scone wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the scones with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
