Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Scones

These are absolutely delicious! Extremely easy to make the dough. Only issue was the dough was excessively sticky. I used a scone pan and the stickiness made my hands a mess. I can’t imagine having to do this on a baking sheet.

Still well worth it in my book. These are a definite repeat.


What You Need

• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 Tbsp butter, melted
• 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 Tbsp sugar

How You Make It
1. Preheat oven to 375*F.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sugar, vanilla extract and egg.

3. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.

4. Mix in melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

5. Gently fold in chocolate chips.

6. Stir in milk mixture until just moist.


7. If using a scone pan: Divide up the dough into each of the spaces.

8. If using a baking sheet: On a floured surface knead lightly four times with floured hands. Form dough into a 9 inch circle onto baking sheet, about 3/4" thick. Using a knife, cut dough into 12 wedges.

9. Brush egg white over dough and sprinkle evenly with sugar.

10. Bake until golden, about 18-20 minutes.
