Time 34m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup dark brown sugar (firmly packed)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup milk chocolate chips (or semi sweet)
1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Lightly butter a 9 inch diameter circle in the center of a baking sheet.
  • Using a large bowl, stir together first four ingredients.
  • Cut the butter into 1/2 inch cubes and distribute them evenly over the flour mixture.
  • With a pastry blender or two knives cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a small bowl stir together the buttermilk, egg and vanilla.
  • Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and hazelnuts. I know yuk but the dough will be sticky.
  • Spread the dough into an 8 inch diameter circle in the center of the prepared baking sheet.
  • Arrange additional hazelnuts around the edge of the dough for garnish if desired. With a serrated knife cut into 8 wedges. Bake for 17-19 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the scones comes out clean.
  • Remove the baking sheet to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes.
  • Using a spatula transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool.
  • Recut into wedges if necessary.
  • Best served warm
  • Cool completely before storing in an air tight container.

These scones are the perfect combination of sweet and nutty. I love the way the hazelnuts and chocolate chips complement each other. They're also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

I was really excited to try these scones, but I was disappointed. They were dry and crumbly, and the flavor was just okay.

I'm not a huge fan of hazelnuts, but these scones were still really good. The chocolate chips helped to balance out the flavor, and the scones were nice and moist.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

These scones were a delightful treat! The combination of hazelnuts and chocolate chips was perfect, and the scones had a lovely crumbly texture. I especially appreciated the hint of cinnamon in the background.
