Number of Servings: 24

Ingredients

    4 cups flour
    3 T sugar
    4 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp cream of tartar
    3/4 cup butter
    1 large egg
    1 1/2 cup liquid hazelnut creamer
    semi-sweet chocolate chips to taste (nutrition info is calculated for 2/3 cups)

Directions

Heat oven to 425. Combine flour, sugar, powder, salt, and cream of tartar. Cut in butter with pastry blender into course crumbs.

Separate egg. Put whites in cup. Put yolk in a small bowl and beat in creamer with a fork. Add yolk mixture to dry ingredients and mix until forms soft dough. Add choc chips.
(Sometimes rather than mixing them in, I place chips on top of the scone and press them in. They look more tailored and I really like the fact that you can take bites with the chips or without. When they are evenly dispersed you can’t do that as well!)

Put on floured surface and knead 5 or 6 times. Divide dough in half, then divide each section in half again so you have 4 equal sized sections of dough. With a rolling pin, roll each section of the dough into a 7" round. Cut into 6 wedges per circle.

Put scones on a greased sheet. Pierce tops, brush with egg white. Sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar if desired (not included in nutrition calculation)

Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until edges are slightly golden.

Serving Size: Makes 4 rounds of size pieces each, for a total of 24 scones/servings
