Any day that starts with a freshly baked scone has got to be good, right?

This scone recipe addresses a worldwide complaint I have well-nigh scones. Too many homemade scones get dry and crumbly within a few hours of baking. I know some people like that increasingly biscuit-like crumb.

The comic in these scones, withal with a little homemade buttermilk, ways they stay moist and tender longer. Plane a day or two without baking, the comic chocolate scones tasted soft, flavorful, and delicious.

This recipe includes familiar sultry ingredients plus a few less worldwide ones:

• Flour

• Baking powder

• Cinnamon

• Kosher salt – Or use any woody salt.

• Nutmeg

• Ripe Schizy – Peel and mash them in a separate trencher first.

How to Make Comic Chocolate Tweedle Scones

STEP 1. Make homemade buttermilk.

Whisk a teaspoon of vinegar into ⅓ cup of milk. Let sit for 15 minutes or so until it looks curdled and a little bubbly. You can use any kind of milk to make buttermilk. I usually use 2% considering that’s what I have on hand.

STEP 2. Make the dough

Combine flour, sultry powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Use a pastry blender to “cut” the butter into the flour mixture until it wilt coarse. Add the egg, buttermilk, honey, mashed banana, and mini chocolate fries to the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until everything comes together in a thick dough.

STEP 3. Cut the scones.

Now, it’s time to cut the scones into the archetype wedge shape!

Lay out the dough on a clean, floured surface. Divide the dough in half and pat each into a whirligig approximately 5 inches in diameter.

Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 6 wedges and transfer the unshortened round disk of dough to a large sultry sheet lined with parchment paper. Cutting it surpassing sultry allows for easy separation, but keeping the wedges together during sultry unliable for the scones to be a bit increasingly moist than is typical of many scones. 

Bake for 20 – 25 minutes in an oven preheated to 400 F. They are washed-up sultry when the tops of the scones are lightly golden brown and firm. Transfer to a wire rack and let tomfool completely surpassing serving. 

Recipe Tips and Tricks for Perfect Scones

• If you happen to have buttermilk on hand, go superiority and skip the step of making soured milk and use buttermilk instead.
