Chocolate Chip and Nut Scones

Emily says these are amazing! Might not want to eat an entire one at once, they are pretty big.

Ingredients

2 c all purpose flour (try subbing in some whole wheat flour)

1/4 c packed brown siguar

1.5 t baking powder

1/2 t baking soda

1/2 t salt

1/2 t cinnamon and/or cardamom

1/2 c cold butter

1 large egg, room temp

1/2 c buttermilk (can sub 3/4 part yogurt or sour cream to 1/4 part milk)

1.5 t vanilla

1 c semi-sweet choc chips (recipe isn't very sweet so not too dark)

1 c nuts (we used hazelnuts for first attempt, I would try pecans or walnuts next)

Directions

1. Whisk together first 6 ingredients, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl whisk egg, milk, and vanilla; add to dry mixture just until moistened, adding choc chips and nuts just before finishing. 

2. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead gently 8 times. Pat dough into 6 in circle and cut into 8 wedges. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 15-20 min. Serve warm.
