Using mini chocolate chips ensures a little sweet treat in each bite. We love serving these warm with Chocolate Hazelnut Spread.

Ingredients
- 1½cups cake flour
- 1cup unbleached all-purpose flour, plus
- more for shaping
- 2tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1½teaspoons baking powder
- ¼teaspoon baking soda
- 1teaspoon kosher salt
- 1cup buttermilk
- 1large egg
- 6tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and
- cut into ½-inch cubes
- ¼cup mini chocolate chips
- egg wash (1 large egg plus 1 teaspoon
- water, whisked well)
- turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
Preparation
- 1. Insert the universal blade into the work bowl of the Cuisinart® 9-Cup Continuous Feed Food
- Processor. Put the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the work bowl, and
- process on Low to combine, about 20 seconds.
- 2. Put the buttermilk and egg in a liquid measuring cup and whisk to fully combine. Reserve.
- 3. Add the butter to the dry ingredients and pulse until the mixture is shaggy. While still pulsing,
- slowly add the liquid ingredients, until just combined; do not overmix.
- 4. Transfer the mixture to a clean countertop or large cutting board, and dust lightly with flour.
- Add the mini chips and then gently fold the dough over a few times to combine. Form the
- dough into a 10-inch cylinder. Using a sharp knife, cut into 8 even rounds. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover lightly and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for a minimum of
- 1 hour, or up to overnight.
- 5. Once chilled, preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the middle position. Brush each scone
- with some of the egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- 6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden-brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool
- slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm or at room temperature.
