Scrumptious chocolate-chip scones

Nothing beats warm scones straight from the oven and these scrumptious chocolate-chip scones are an absolute delight. Packed with both milk chocolate and white chocolate chips, these homemade treats are ideal for morning tea or for an afternoon snack. 

To create that perfect golden crust, glaze in cream or egg-wash before baking. Serve scones warm or at room temperature with whipped cream and jam, or with a simple curl of butter. Pour a cuppa and dig in! 

Ingredient

• 3 cups self-raising flour 
• 1 cup chilled lemonade
• 600ml thickened cream
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Method

1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. 
2. Place flour in large bowl and make a well in centre. Pour in lemonade and one cup (250ml) of cream. 
3. Add combined chocolate chips. Use a flat-bladed knife to stir until a soft, sticky dough forms. 
4. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and gently knead until just smooth. 
5. Press into a 3cm-thick disc. Use a lightly floured 5cm round cutter to cut discs from the dough, re-rolling dough if necessary. 
6. Place scones, side-by-side, on lined tray. 
7. Lightly brush tops with little of remaining cream. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. 
8. Meanwhile, use an electric mixer to whisk remaining cream in bowl until soft peaks form.
