Double Chocolate Scones

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F

Step 2

Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat

Step 3

Put the flour in a large bowl

Step 4

Add the coconut oil and combine with your fingers or a pastry cutter until it resembles bread crumbs.

Step 5

Add all of the other dry ingredients including the chocolate and stir to combine

Step 6

Add vanilla to the the milk and stir, then add the liquid to the dry ingredients and stir to combine everything.

Step 7

It's easier to get your hands in there now and form the dough into a ball. The less you handle it the better your scones will be so don't be too hard on it.

Step 8

Place on your prepared tray and press or roll into a circle shape about 1 inch thick.

Step 9

Cut into 8 equal wedges and separate them so they all have some space between them.

Step 10

Sprinkle with a little sugar then bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until cooked through (if you aren't sure you can insert a toothpick or skewer and it should come out mostly clean).

Step 11

Cool on a cooling rack.

Step 12

Put the chocolate and milk into a small bowl and either melt very carefully and slowly in a microwave or over a bowl of simmering water.

Step 13

Use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the cooled scones.
