Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and grated
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 large egg, cold
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (135g) mini chocolate chips
  • Extra mini chocolate chips (for sprinkling, optional)
  • Coarse sugar (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure out all ingredients and keep butter, cream, and egg cold until ready to use.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sift flour if lumpy.
  3. Grate cold butter directly into the dry mix and toss lightly to coat.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together cream, yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour wet ingredients over the flour-butter mixture and gently mix until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips. If dough is dry, add a splash more cream.
  6. Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Chill dough for 10 minutes.
  7. Using a heart-shaped cutter (2.5 to 3 inches), cut out scones. Re-roll scraps gently and cut more hearts (yields about 10-12 scones).
  8. Place scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Brush tops with cream and sprinkle with extra chocolate chips or coarse sugar if desired.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (205°C) for 15-18 minutes, until golden on top and firm at the edges.
  10. Cool scones for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. Serve warm.

Notes

Keep all ingredients cold for best results. Don’t overwork the dough—mix just until combined for fluffy scones. You can substitute gluten-free flour, plant-based butter, or coconut cream for dietary needs. Freeze unbaked scones and bake from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to baking time. Scones are best enjoyed warm but keep well for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
